I''ve taken the liberty of creating a new FAQ page on the wiki based upon Luis''s announcement on ruby-core. I tweaked it a little bit as well. See what you think. Jon

Thank you! For those not having the link: http://wiki.github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/faq We need to add a new one: Why when I uninstall Ruby some files remains there? http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=26467&group_id=167&atid=715 People hated old installer for that, and now they complain it no longer does! :P -- Luis Lavena AREA 17 - Perfection in design is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but rather when there is nothing more to take away.

Meaning, if files are installed via RubyGems or manually, the installer will not delete them, correct?

It will only remove the files that the installer is aware of. So: after installation I''ve called "gem install rake" When I uninstall, rake scripts and gem will remain there. Previous installers removed everything, zapping manually or gem installed components. You was forced to backup your gem stash on every update of the installer and be careful with the message boxes. -- Luis Lavena AREA 17 - Perfection in design is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but rather when there is nothing more to take away.

Review and see if you think it clearly addresses the issue.

Thank you so much for it. I''m going to update the old wiki at http://rubyinstaller.rubyforge.org so people is aware of this FAQ. Thanks again. -- Luis Lavena AREA 17 - Perfection in design is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but rather when there is nothing more to take away. Antoine de Saint-Exup?ry
