I highly recommend that you install 6.0 from scratch and
build your old server services anew to a development box you have
personal access to. Then remove the hard drive and ship it to you
remote site and swap with your production drive.  That way you get
the new file system in production and have quick fall back if things
don't work.

There is a lot of maintenance benefits to be had from a new clean
built from scratch server.

Yeah, from what I've read now and the time involved it seems as though it's going to be easier to just get 6.0 installed from scratch, plus I guess there's not going to be the possibility of old files from the previous install messing up the upgrade.

New install it is.

Might see if the data centre has a spare box I could mirror on for a day or so.

Cheers.
