At the time of this post, Ruby on Rails required version 1.8.2 of Ruby, which is not the most current version. Installation of a Ruby on Rails development system is easiest if you download dependencies from the left column of the RubyOnRails download page.

First, download Ruby 1.8.2-15 (stable). Install without SciTE and FreeRIDE. Installation directory c:\ruby\1.8.2-15.

Second, download RubyGems (most current version). Unzip the distribution and run ruby on setup.rb. This will install the gems libraries as well as the gem command.

Third, install rails.

This is a book about setting up FERRARI from scratch.

Today I set up a RAID10 (stripe+mirror) configuration for FERRARI. I used 4 Western Digital Caviar 320GB drives (3200 series). Total size is 594GB.

Setup was extremely simple. Hit CTRL+S or F4 during the SiliconImage boot screen. Choose "Create New Raid Set". Specify RAID10. Done.

When installing Windows XP on the new RAID array, I needed a 3.5" floppy with the SiliconImage 3114 drivers. Luckily I had burned a CD of them as a backup earlier. I was able to use another machine to copy them to a floppy.

As a part of this system rebuild, I needed to update the BIOS to support the newest drivers for the Silicon Image 3114 SATA RAID controller.

I downloaded the newest BIOS from the Tyan web site (tyan.com). The most recent version was from 6/2005, v2.05.

The instructions indicate that I'll need two floppies. One is a Win98 boot disk and the other will contain the unzipped contents of the BIOS download.

I booted to the Win98 floppy, pressing F5 during the Win98 disk's bootup to avoid loading memory resident programs. I then switched disks and ran the flash command. Do not run amiflash. Just flash.
