This was the exact procedure that I requested from the SL support staff 
-- using the bootable install DVD for SL 6 to update a SL 5 system, and 
was told that such a procedure is not recommended and is not supported 
as one of the options presented in the SL 6 installation GUI.

Would you kindly supply the exact steps using the SL 6 bootable install DVD?

Thanks,
