Hi, I am following deprec2 your slice from windows  
([http://crackthenut.cracklabs.com/deprec2-your-slice-from-windows/.](http://crackthenut.cracklabs.com/deprec2-your-slice-from-windows/.))

however I am getting stuck at gem install mongrel part of the  
install\_rails\_stack. I am on a 256mb slicehost slice so I know it will  
take sometime. However it has been 3 hours and it is not getting  
anywhere. I have terminated the process and did a gem update to  
1.2.0(previous version had some problems with small slices I heard). Now  
I am running the sudo gem install mongrel manually from terminal but I  
think it is freezing there again.

anyone has any advice to get past this? I am getting fustrated because  
this is probably thee 6th or 7th tutorial I have tried and have rebuild  
at least 20 times…server deployments are so fun ain’t they?

Try grabbing deprec-1.99.26 (rubygems has been updated to 1.2.0).

Also, you might do better asking on the deprec-users google  
group[http://groups.google.com/group/deprec-users](http://groups.google.com/group/deprec-users)  
.
