Install script support passing file locations with spaces (ISO9660 label)?

    I was having installation problems using guide $ ./install.sh
    http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/installing.html#installsh
    I was using current refind (v0.6.7). This download iso has name "rEFInd 0.6.7".

    This was mounted at /Volumes/refind 0.6.7 1/. While in this folder the script would keep failing due to file not found. I didn't save the error message but at each space there would be a new not found line. ISO 9660 specifications don't allow spaces in name (but most applications support spaces). I didn't find any tools that allow editing ISO name so I rebuilt an ISO using IMGburn with label "rEFInd_0.6.7". The install script worked no problem with this renamed .iso.

    Are other people getting this problem? The ISO9660 label will show up as mount location for any OS, right?
    I think it would be safer to use label without spaces when creating Iso.

    Thanks for pointing this out. I've made a change to the script I use to generate my distribution files to create volume names with underscores rather than spaces, and I've made a note to make the install.sh script more flexible on this score, too.
