If I understand the initial question right you do not want to install
gems documentation since you are already using an on-line version of
it.
You half-understand. I don't want to install the documentation for
the "RubyGems" application itself. I am not talking about using the
'gem' program to install a gem without documentation.
For example, trying to install rubygems-0.9.4 itself, like this, I see
no way to avoid installing documentation. I wonder if I can force a
path for documentation installation to /dev/null or something simple.
