They were probably thinking about the yum update procedure. The DVD/CD update
procedure is definitely available - though perhaps not as nice as a complete
clean install.

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.
Yes that is our support stance. It is NOT supported by either TUV or SL .
Would you kindly supply the exact steps using the SL 6 bootable install DVD?
Thanks,
