NAK because the text mode installer is deprecated in major ways --
there's just no way to support the feature set that people want from the
installer.

But, one of the changes that's been going into pungi this time around
(after some changes that went into anaconda for F9) is making it so that
have a much smaller repo set on the CD than is used for the buildinstall
run.  Thus, the installer images are complete (and use X) without
requiring all of X, etc packages on the CD
