Thanks a lot for the guide.
I have a problem though:

It looks like i can't access the server where Ruby is loacted:

Code: [Select]

http://dev.centos.org/centos/4.3/testing/i386/RPMS/ruby-ri-1.8.5-1.el4.centos.i386.rpm: [Errno 4] Socket Error: timed out
Trying other mirror.
Error: failure: RPMS/ruby-ri-1.8.5-1.el4.centos.i386.rpm from centos-testing: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.
================================================================
No new rpms were installed. No additional commands are required.
================================================================


Is it me or the server?

Sorry - i guess i was a little fast there.
I might add that it also seems like i've got the proper connection to CentOS:

Code: [Select]

Ok - i got connected. It seems like you just have to try a couple of times, if the server rejects you.

And by the way: Everything works like a charm. BIG thanks for an easy and understandable guide.
