it had less then 150 packages(that were selectable during install at

packages total(that is a full install) its a far cry from a 2000+ package
slink or a 4000+ package potato.

don't count on it, im sure it can upgrade some, but chances are very good
that the vast majority of the "modified" corel software won't make it out
of corel's 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.
