Guided mode is the screen where you can only preserve or delete partitions,
nothing else. Custom mode is the screen where you can set up the partitions to
your will.
Automatic partitioning ("autopart") is an approach of letting Anaconda create
the partition setup automatically for you. It is used in guided mode and _can_
be used in custom mode (by clicking the blue text "Create partition layout
automatically"). Manual partitioning is the approach of doing everything by
yourself, basically it is a custom mode without using autopart.
I'm using the terms in the sense I see them most often used. But maybe
different terms could be less confusing. Adam, do you want to comment on
terminology?

If something is not explicitly stated in the test case, people should be free
to do it as they see fit. We might set up some "testing introduction" page and
describe these principles. But I agree with you, in order to encourage using
different keymaps, we can explicitly say it's allowed. That's why I proposed:
"We can explicitly say the password _might not_ be set using an English keymap."

Yes, that's basically the same. I prefer to not quote the button labels
("option for using the free space" instead of "choose 'use free space'").

I imagine a page with a screenshot of guided mode screen, and a screenshot of
custom mode screen. It would be used to illustrate what is the guided mode and
what is the custom mode. There doesn't need to be a lot of description, just
saying "this is the guided mode" and "this is the custom mode" is enough. We
can then link the page, people will have a look at it and in 10 seconds they
will understand which parts of anaconda they should work with to verify the
test case.
Thanks for working on this.
