Rails - Aug 2006 - images

hi all

starting out building a new rails app, working with a designer who gives 
me templates in html format with images(logos etc.) in an images folder.
need to convert these to rhtml. what is the best practice to deal with 
images, flash etc? where in the directory structure should i copy these 
media files and how do i reference them in the rhtml template file?

These files generally belong in the public/images folder.  Your public
folder is what the rails app uses as the root document directory for the
site.
ie
the absolute link /images  would really point to public/images

Hope that helps :)
