Comment(by leif):
Ok, it could perhaps be documented in more prominent places, but it's
(still) twice in {{{$SAGE_ROOT/README.txt}}}, the second time a bit to
mild:
{{{

3. Extract the Sage source tarball and cd into a directory with no
spaces in it. [...]

RELOCATION
----------
You *should* be able to move the sage-x.y.z directory anywhere you
want. If you copy the sage script or make a symbolic link to it, you
should modify the script to reflect this (as instructed at the top of
the script). It is best if the path to Sage does not have any spaces in
it.
...
}}}
And afair it is (or at least has been at some time) better documented in
the Installation Guide.
So I would open two tickets (one could be this with changed title):
* Make sure {{{$SAGE_ROOT}}} does not contain spaces, e.g. in {{{sage-
env}}} (blocker).
* Improve documentation (CAPSLOCK? Add/move remarks to top of files.)
