in
http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/ergozd/scripts/phprpms/
2.What does the abreviation "eo" mean?
3.Is this the latest PHP available for SME?
4.Can PHP 5.0.4 be downloaded from
http://www.php.net/downloads.php and installed on SME
or it needs some special customisation?
5.Where can I download the latest PHP upgrade scripts for SME from?
From http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/ergozd/scripts/
or there are some other places too?

Thank you for all your comments in advance!

Have not tried it myself, so may be someone else can answer this one.

You can also download it from any mirrors OR from my home page http://ergin.dyndns.org/download/

Ergin,
thank you for the detailed answer!

I realise that I won't be able to upgrade my SME 6.0.1
so I'm prepared to do a fresh install when v.7.0 is ready.

Thank you for the alternative link you posted here:
http://ergin.dyndns.org/download/
I see there are upgrade scripts for MySQL v.4.1.11 and v 4.1.12 (MySQL-4_1_11.sh and MySQL-4_1_12.sh) - exactly the scripts I needed!!!!
I couldn't find these scripts at http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/ergozd/scripts/

Thank you again!
