Argh indeed!

Problems, mon Capitan.

Here's the install log. It detected that this was an "upgrade" then  
errored with the following:

I'm figuring that the problems are:
1) When installing to "Applications" normally a dialog comes up to  
verify the user has administrator permissions: the rest of the install  
then presumably runs under "sudo"-like conditions.

2) The script definitely does NOT like my hard drive name having spaces  
in it: the source drive name is "DB G4 Data" and the target drive name  
is "DB G4 HD"

3) SOMETHING happened... the positions of all the icons in my  
Applications directory got hosed completely. :-P

If I didn't think it'd break a ton of aliases & symbolic links I'd just  
rename the thing. *sigh* Just be aware: lots of OS X users will have  
spaces in their hard drive names: it's something we got used to under  
OS 9 and earlier.

Happy to keep testing... just don't kill my Applications directory  
entirely, whadya say, Ton? :-)
