I would like to download the Rails manual featured at [http://railsmanual.org/list/methods/rails/2.0.1](http://railsmanual.org/list/methods/rails/2.0.1) If your advice is in fact to use wget, please provide the exact command I need to issue; however, ideally I would prefer a searchable pdf file. Please advise. ---

Hey Paul, I’ve come across some downloadable PDF’s out there for Rails 2.xbut don’t have any of the links bookmarked as I prefer the railsmanual site over a PDF file. If you find any worth mentioning please do let me know and I’ll link to it from the site. Nathaniel.
