You can freeze the version of Rails that you want to have. Just go to  
your rails application root and run following command

rake rails:freeze:edge TAG=

e.g.

rake rails:freeze:edge TAG=rel\_1-1-6

This will freeze the Rails 1.1.6 under your Rails application. You will  
see Rails directory under your /vendor

Hope that helps
