Sure, I’ll take a stab at updating it, hopefully later tonight.

Subject: Re: [Rails] Re: [ANN] Instant Rails Screencast
Bill, these are excellent suggestions. Would you be willing to
update the FAQ on the Instant Rails wiki with this to make it easy for
others to find? The URL is:
http://instantrails.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?FAQ
Thanks,
Curt
PS
We have plans to eventually support RadRails by detecting
when you install RadRails inside of the Instant Rails directory tree and
then automatically updating the RadRails configuration to work properly.
As always with an open source project, this will happen sooner if
someone volunteers to do it!

I think the easiest solution to this is to just put ruby
in your path.
In my case I just add c:\InstantRails-1.3a\ruby\bin to
my path and
RadRails and the generators all work as expected. It
would be a quick
thing to do at the beginning of the screencast.

The easiest way is to execute the following:
mysqld --install
This will add mysql as a service in your Services
control panel
configured to start automatically by default.
You may also need to add c:\InstantRails-1.3a\mysql\bin
to your path for
this to startup as expected. I have not rebooted yet to
test it but
this should get you going.
