[support] is it possible to import d5 content into a new d6 site?

[Victor Kane]

Just use http://drupal.org/project/node_export
It's actually "node export / import" and of course it has stable releases in
both D5 and D6.

Want a bulk export / import?

Just use the suggestion right on the project page:

Bulk Export/Import

Node Export now supports bulk node operations from the admin/content/node
page. For a more advanced approach to bulk import/export of nodes use the Views
Bonus <http://drupal.org/project/views_bonus> module to export a CSV of
nodes in a View <http://drupal.org/project/views> and then import the CSV
with Node Import <http://drupal.org/project/node_import>.
Hope that helps, let us know how it goes,
