I used the advanced input methods of "up", "down", and "enter".
Ubuntu is still choosing one UI over the other, as opposed to maintaining both. RHT has chosen the path of the graphical installer as it is far easier to design intuitive user interfaces that way than to try and manipulate large blocks of ncurses. Years of customer requests and partner input led to this move, it is not something we just came up with one day while passing around the bong.
