I have been reading online and have found little or no reference information. I would like to actually do this without a make world scenario, and have read some info bout booting off a usb device with 6.0 on it and copying stuff over. Anyone know of or heard bout this by any chance? Also what recommendations would you make if you were to upgrade from 4.x tree to 5 or 6? I know most of you will say start from scratch, but I dont have that luxury. Please help
