When installing under Mac OS X 10.4 or earlier, the actual location of the DiskWarrior application is important. Because
DiskWarrior is a sophisticated disk utility, it runs into a limitation of a portion of the Mac OS needed by DiskWarrior but not by
most applications. Due to this limitation, the path (the names of the enclosing folders all the way to the top level of the disk)
cannot contain certain characters. The actual list of allowable and non-allowable characters is too large to list so it's best if the
path contains only the letters A-Z, the digits 0-9, and spaces. For example, /Applications/Utilities/DiskWarrior is a good path
while /Applications/Utilities/DiskWarrior ƒ/DiskWarrior is a bad path because of the "ƒ" character.
