Upgrade NW6 to OES

I believe you cannot upgrade direct from NW6 to OES and the upgrade path
from NW6 to OES is NW6 to NW65 to OES but if OES is also NW65SP?? which
version of
NW65 should I upgrade to from NW6 before I go to OES

When you say OES, do you mean OES/Linux or OES/NetWare? If it is
OES/NetWare, then you should be aware that OES/NetWare is just the latest
NetWare 6.5, and you can do a normal in place upgrade using for example
the NW65SP6 overlay CDs.
If however you are going to OES/Linux, an in place upgrade is never
possible and you have to migrate to new hardware. In that case, you better
ask in the novell.support.open-enterprise-server.migration forum.

Yes. More precisely, the first version of OES/NetWare was NetWare 6.5 SP3
and OES2/NetWare is NetWare 6.5 SP7.
For your upgrade, I would recommend using Nw65SP6 overlay CDs. Make sure
your 6.0 server is at the required support pack level for the upgrade.
See the documentation here for upgrade requirements:
