Ok well
1. Python is *very* doable, it will be installed by default (touch support needs it). Geany will be there also. Any suggestions for an IDLE ? I could use the default one. If you have another in mind, let me know. Preferably, size should be <100 MB for that. With bare-bones utilities, it's already weighing 1G...
2. KoboX seems veeery appropriate!! Considering we're on Xorg and it's running OpenBoX, in a chroot (container/BOX), that's well done, thanks!
To be pronounced "Ko-box"
3. Yeah that should be fairly easy to do. However, I think I will require users to manually decompress the alpine.img because it would take too much space otherwise (already contained in KoboRoot + uncompressed)

thanks!
other suggestions, everyone? I tried to get Calibre on this but it seems hard to compile. And what would you do with it? Does it seem a good idea? Thanks

P.S.: I attached a screenshot. That's the actual progress. It seems running MATE desktop, but it's just MATE panel + openbox WM... so it's still fast!
