Is it worth looking for minor slams over 2c opener and 2nt rebid in IMPS  when sitting with 6 of the minor and enough points to make slam possible or should u just go for the 6nt ?
 
if you do want to look for minor slam what is the standard over 2c  2d(waiting) 2nt ?
 
Is it bidding stayman  then rebidding the minor at the 4 level?

bidding stayman then bidding 4minor shows a 4M/6m hand with no major-suit fit. If you only have a 6m hand, try 3S first. Most play that as minor-suit-stayman (MSS). If pard bids 3N, then bid 4m to show your slammish long minor hand. If pard bids 4D when you have clubs, just bid 6C.
 
With a good 6card minor, I would suggest you bid 6minor rather than 6N. At IMPS, slam bonus is far more important than the few extra points NT provides. Most hands will play the same, but some hands will provide more tricks at a suit than NT.
 
Sometimes it is best to just jump to 6m over 2N to prevent confusion.
