I'm hesitant to recommend specific text-mode tests for each user interface
element that differs in text-mode and graphical-mode (it would be
exhaustive but unachievable). As a catch-all, testing a text-mode install
is included in the current matrix. Is there something small that can be
done to cover the gap?
1. Perhaps adding a text-mode upgrade test case to the install matrix, or
...
2. Adding variations to the existing upgrade tests
[https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Anaconda_Upgrade_Update_Bootloader
QA:Testcase_Anaconda_Upgrade_Update_Bootloader] and
[https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Anaconda_Upgrade_Skip_Bootloader
QA:Testcase_Anaconda_Upgrade_Skip_Bootloader] to also test text-mode, or
