Ah, yes, thank you.  I felt sort of funny when I wrote that, like there
was something wrong with the assumption, and that is it.  

I wonder if there is a way to get Anaconda to dump all of it's raw
curses screens for us to use in <screen/> blocks?  A PNG screenshot of
the text install would be, uh ... lame ... but it would be a hassle to
create the TUI screens manually ...

I'll check with Jeremy to see if this is possible.  One person on
#fedora-devel suggested doing the install in a virtual machine, then we
can use the mouse to grab the text.

In Red Hat guides, we have a section that gets included in some guides
(such as the Installation Guide) that talks about how to use the mouse,
how to copy-paste, etc.  I think that such information is already a
given for Fedora writers; I would save it for an entry-level Fedora
tutorial.
