... As there are a lot of packages available for Linux that are notQuote:>is it possible?
I don't think it would be meaningful to try to "upgrade" a system
in this manner as programs and libraries would need to be
substantially all replaced with Hurd-compiled versions.
One of the suggested ways of installing Hurd _is_ to start with
a Debian/Linux system, and then install Hurd on some "fresh"
partitions. But that isn't sensibly called an "upgrade."

1. Debian GNU/Linux X crashing
Greetings,
Last week my system began locking up while in X during times I was using the
mouse. I presumed it was simply that I'd installed and removed too many
components over the previous year, and that this would be a good time to
upgrade to Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 and clean everything up. So I obtained the
floppie images from the debian site, copied the base system onto a CD, and
sucessfully conducted my first apt install of all the packages I could ever
hope to use.
However, that nasty little mouse thing that seems to be taking down my X
server persists. Since I don't know any better, I tried getting rid of gpm,
and attempted all kinds of pointer configurations in XF86Config, to no
avail. It seems the current configuration is the only one that works at all.
Additionally, when I kill the X session and return to the gdm login banner,
all seems well with the mouse.
So...I'm stumped (which isn't necessarily hard to do). When the fault
occurs, the pointer sometimes dissappears, and sometimes just takes on an
inappropriate mode (e.g. text insert symbol on the desktop). It seems that
when this happens, the applications running in X can still receive keyboard
input. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Steve
