I want to update my rails from 2.0.2 to 2.1.0RC.

I know the 2.1.0RC is now on github.orb.

So how do I install this on windows ?

My current directory structure for rails 2.0.2 looks like this

E:\ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\rails-2.0.2

Would I just replact the rails-2.0.2 directory ???

Sorry, but I am a newby and trying to figure all of the structure of  
rails.

yea, I know I need to move to linux or Mac but this is all I have now,  
so I must deal with it.

You’ll probably find that the easiest way is to grab the gem from  
[gems.rubyonrails.org](http://gems.rubyonrails.org) (it the version 2.0.991 gems), ie

gem install rails --source [gems.rubyonrails.org](http://gems.rubyonrails.org)

Note that there are also ones like 2.0.991.20080529111450 which  
aren’t RC1 - those are the daily snapshots (ie RC1 + 2 weeks or so)

Release Candidate… basically means “It’s almost done and we’re saying  
it’s good enough to install, but it’s not the final version yet”
