After reading the article about rails in OnLamp, I''ve decided to give it a try. In many way it resembles a product that I used to work several years ago, but based on Tcl. So I this might just be what a Pythonier as me needs to try out Ruby. :) Now the problem is, right now the computer where I want to play around with rails doesn''t have net access. I already downloaded the packages available in the rails web site. How can I install everything? Can ruby-gems be persuaded to install from the local disk? Thanks in advance, Paulo

Paulo, In addition to their regular installation method (using the ''gem'' command), ruby gems are self-installing. So if you''ve downloaded the .gem files you need, you should be able to run them individually like this: "ruby rails-0.9.5.gem" and so forth. There is a nice manual at http://rubygems.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?UserGuide if you''d like to read up on it yourself.
