Update RVM::FW installer script to use rvm's offline mode? #19

Thanks to @mpapis, I'm now aware of how to install rvm offline. Rather than trying to deduce how to keep up with RVM's ever more capable and quick moving installer from the past few years I should tweak the RVM::FW installer script to install rvm via offline mode.

It would be nice to investigate offline mode more thoroughly and see how it would work in relation to RVM::FW or if it's just another alternative to RVM::FW...

any progress on that?

@mpapis I actually am closing this one out. RVM offline mode is an awesome feature, but the goal with RVM::FW is to serve as a mirror of RVM & Ruby repositories to enable custom config files that allows for users to still get the simplicity of online RVM while behind a corporate firewall. The steps for RVM offline mode will work just fine for anyone with access to source files, but RVM::FW (if available on their network) aims to make it as easy to use RVM as normal.

@mpapis: Actually, I'm going to try to use the offline installer mode of RVM from the current bash script installer that RVM::FW provides. This will make the initial step of installing RVM for RVM::FW much easier and a lot more maintenance free for me. This is so old I confused the second half of my initial comment with the initial comment. I definitely think wrapping offline mode for the install of RVM itself makes more sense than the old online script I'm using currently.
