For such reasons, Corel has a current XFree86, AFAIK.
Why would you want to upgrade from corel linux to potato ??
IMHO if you want a corel linux feature just install potato or upgrade
to potato and add the interesting package.

I've heard several people ask if this is possible. It is, but it's not
exactly clean. The first problem I ran into is that /etc/syslogd.conf is in
kde-corel, in conflict with the sysklogd package. You have to turn on
force-overwrites to get past that, since corel didn't make the packages
conflict.

Well apparently Corel made some major changes in the final because
according to this page:
http://linux.corel.com/products/linux_os/inside.htm
, Corel Linux is based on Debian 2.2. At their site I read something
about their
hands and back into the community's hands in time for
potato. and corel is based on slink (glibc2.0.7) many things would break i
bet if you tried to upgrade corel linux to potato without the updated
corel packages.
