Proposing as a Beta blocker: "When using the dedicated installer images, the installer must be able to complete an installation using the text, graphical and VNC installation interfaces. " http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_19_Alpha_Release_Criteria
Additional info: when I leave software selection as is by default in text mode in netinst.iso ("Gnome desktop"), it installs minimal configuration instead.
(In reply to Vojtěch Boček from comment #13) > Additional info: when I leave software selection as is by default in text > mode in netinst.iso ("Gnome desktop"), it installs minimal configuration > instead. I'd say at least this one is related to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=965940 and maybe this bug too - could you retest with previous RC?
This is not related to 965940. Software selection in text mode was not present in Beta RC2. This is a new feature added in RC3 (/me throws glum looks).
Sorry for adding it late, but as much new text UI stuff as possible really needs to go into F19. I've already posted a patch to anaconda-patches for review on this issue.

Patch pushed, commit 33db7ad5a7c86d743fe4893a46ac5d91ce83cae5
Discussed at 2013-05-22 blocker review meeting: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2013-05-22/f19beta-blocker-review-8.2013-05-22-16.07.html . This was narrowly rejected as a blocker on the basis it still works at least as well as it did in f18 final and f19 alpha (where software selection wasn't possible at all) and there are still the 'workarounds' of graphical and VNC. But it's accepted as an FE issue and we would like to get it fixed.
