I have a very simple solution: create a single .iso and set ubiquity
as default installer, BUT also give the user the possibility to press
$A_KEY_YOU_DEFINE to boot Ubuntu in TEXT MODE (aka = boot using
alternate installer).

Is it so difficoult to have both installer on the same CD and let the
user choose what he/she wants? In this way you won't have the problem
to create a separated.iso to test.

I hope you will take this solution in serious consideration and you
will make everyone happy!

Best regards,
