Is it possible to upgrade 5.05 to 5.06 with pacthes or is it a completely new installation from CD-ROM?
 
The CD-Rom does have an upgrade feature, however you need to be prepared to do a fresh install.

I tried to use the upgrade feature to go from 5.0.0 to 5.0.6, but it crashed in the middle and I had to do a full install anyway. Since you're only going up one minor version number you will probably have better luck than I did.

This goes without saying, but make sure you have good backups of your system before you try it.
 
before you upgrade make sure that your applications will work in 5.0.6

I did an upgrade and had to go backwords..
thanks
