  As far as i know (and remember - it's a few months that i run 6.0 )
there's practically no difference between a fully updated 5.1 and a 5.2.
So after you have installed all the 5.1 updates, you can quite painlessly
start installing the 5.2 updates. I basically did the 5.1->5.2 upgrade "by
hand", and had no real problem - but don't try this with major releases.
