platform: Windows XP without internet connection.
steps:
1. Install ruby on WinXP successfully by downloaded package "Ruby-186-26 one click installer".
2. Run "setup.rb" to update rubygems to 1.3.7 by downloaded package rubygems-1.3.7.zip
3. Copy downloaded watir related packages to a folder, e.g.
c:\watir>dir
2010-07-09 09:15 9,216 commonwatir-1.6.5.gem
2010-07-09 09:16 89,088 firewatir-1.6.5.gem
2010-07-09 09:16 183,808 nokogiri-1.4.2.gem

there is no zip/gz packages can be downloaded from site "rubygems.org", only "gem" file, so how can I install the gem file and make it work? I've googled for a long time and got nothing useful clues, it hits me a lot and I'm getting tired of do this, need the workable fucking helps.

   How did you download the gems?

   Any update on this? Can you just install them from the site? gem install nokogiri for instance.
