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.
