How does one go about updating to 1.2.6 now that 2.0 is out.

gem update rails will update rails to 2.0

but gem update rails-1.2.6 results in ERROR: could not find  
rails-1.2.6 locally or in a repository

Could anyone let me know what I am missing.

Thanks,  
Dan

‘rails’ is the name of the gem, not ‘rails-1.2.6’

you should try : gem install rails -y -v 1.2.6

“gem help install” to see all options.
