I just added the following to the README file:

--CUT------------------------------------------------------------
== Installation

Get it from RubyForge (http://rubygems.rubyforge.org) and run (as root, if 
appropriate and necessary)

  ruby setup.rb

For more details and other options, see:

* {User Guide/Installation}[http://docs.rubygems.org/read/chapter/3]
--CUT------------------------------------------------------------

I also updated the installation chapter in the RubyGems document to reflect 
the extended directions for installing in an alternate location.
