I need some features from edge, and have never installed it before. I’m  
using RoR on a hosted system, they do not have svn.

It seems like I should take the files from

[http://dev.rubyonrails.org/svn/rails/trunk/](http://dev.rubyonrails.org/svn/rails/trunk/)

and put them into vendor/rails, and then follow the remaining  
installation tips.

Since we don’t have subversion installed, is there an ftp site where I  
can get the files from?

I think your best bet is to export the trunk on a system that does have  
svn and then ftp the files where you need them.

Taking from branches/1.2-pre-release would be good too I think. It’ll  
give  
you a clearer picture of the next release.
