unlisted mirrors & non-gui installation
Previously during install, when selecting which Mirror to use, one could
press the up arrow and get a line to input a custom mirror location,
such as one kept locally. This feature seems to have been removed from
Debian8 installer.

For a console-only (non-gui) environment, there should be added to the
list of GUIs "Console-Only" (or whatever wording you desire). Currently
it is assumed that no selection means no gui, which makes sense HOWEVER
if one deselected the bottom option "standard system utilities" gnome is
installed.
"standard system utilities" is vague; one would think this is such like
whois, tracert, etc. Perhaps this option should be removed, in tandem
with "Console-Only" being added.
