So, as near as I can tell (I'm talking to a friend I just had test it)
the first of the package selections in text mode has no "Athena" option.
You choose "Custom" and select the athena package group later on.

I think this should be like the graphical one; punt "KDE Workstation" in
favor of "Athena Worstation", in the very first package selection place,
and then people are going to be less tempted to pick and choose later.
