It depends on how you want to upgrade. I read both reinstall/reconfigure and real upgrade in the wordt upgrade here. If you choice to reinstall then you could go straith to 6. This is needed to gain the full features. You can only use USF2 if you have done this. If you choice to upgrade fully though CVS then it may be smart to first upgrade to 4-stable, then 5.3, then 5-stable, then 6.0 and then 6.1. This also means you will not get the full features of 6. -- Alex
