[support] upgrading with from D5 to D6

[KOBA | Hans Rossel]

Guten Tag,
Just upgrade as described in the upgrade instructions for Drupal core and
CCK and your content should be there. Make a backup in advance and test
first.

You probably heard instructions on how to get content from another site our
external source into your Drupal site, where you could indeed use a csv file
and some import module, but for a normal upgrade its not needed.

The main thing that will not upgrade is your views. You will have to remake
them in Views 2 in Drupal 6. But it's worth it as views 2 is so much more
flexible and is a lot easier to theme. For simple views there is a views 1
importer in views 2, but I prefer to remake all views because views 2 is
better organised so you can reduce the number of views a lot by
restructuring them.
