5.0 in startup install then 5.4, then 6.0 then 6.1, 6.2 was last

Even if you skip a couple of these, that's still a lot of
upgrade/reboot cycles ... each one a possible point of failure.
For a jump this big, I heavily recommend getting a new disk and
installing clean, It'll probably take less time; you'll dump a ton
of obsolete executables/libraries/config files; and you can mount
the old disk read-only as a data source.
