i am reading the second edition of the agile development with rails  
book, and i left it at home today…

i was wondering if anyone can recall how to do the following:

in the book, it talks about updating rails to the most current version,  
performing some incantation to update all the files in your project to  
reflect any necessary changes…

i have a few problems that i think are a direct effect of this, and i  
don’t want to drive all the way home…

does anyone know this off the top of their head?

thanks!

maybe

gem install rails v=x.xx

then

rails ‘your project directory’

If you don’t overwrite anything  
you’ve personally changed  
that should work, it prompts  
me for overwrite in linux  
but i dunno what your on  
so back that shiz up jim
