Currently, I have xubuntu installed on a bootable 16gb usb drive - the rails app lives on this drive. This is for the benefit of a friend that uses a win7 laptop - she boots from the usb drive to run the rails app - works fine. I would like to have this app run in windows, so she doesn''t have to reboot to use it. I see that I can install rails via rubyinstaller (http://rubyinstaller.org/). QUESTION: Can I just copy the top-level rails application directory to windows? Haven''t tried yet - trying to get advice before I start 8-) Feel free to point me elsewhere Thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Like VirtualBox for instance: https://www.virtualbox.org That might actually end up being less painful for you since you can continue using your favorite linux inside the virtual machine since you then don''t have to worry about gems that use native extensions. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
