I am developing a script to generate an application, and I have Rails  
1.1.6 installed. I now want to regenerate it with EdgeRails (or near  
enough to).  
I can’t use the vendor folder because I want Rails to be outside the  
app.  
The Beta Gems server is out of date, and I don’t know how to switch to  
the trunk version I’ve got from svn due to the different folder  
structure, without upsetting the stable install.

1. Will BetaGems be updated soon ? Its reporting rails version  
1.1.2.5123

2. I’ve got EdgeRails - how do I use it eg. when I type "rails  
" knowing that it won’t try to use my older rails and gems ? Do  
I just make the leap to only Edge Rails ?

I’m on Windows and I’m trying to test my update to the SQL Server  
adapter !

Many thanks,

magpie
