Corel Linux is derived from Debian and contains a subset of Debian's
packages, but it is not a collaborative effort. The Debian developers
offered to help Corel but were refused.

The Corel "progress bar" is buggy, and bears no useful relationship to the
progress of the installation. You just have to ignore it and wait. The
install can take quite a while.

they?

The Corel installer (which is entirely different from that used by Debian)
is rather fragile. It seems to either work perfectly or fail totally and
without explanation.

Have you considered trying Debian?
