+==== Install Alpine Desktop ====
+Let's create a new QemuNet image called "alpinex"
+  $ cp --sparse=auto alpine.img alpinex.img  # be careful, when you copy sparse files!
+Then, add these lines in qemunet.cfg:
+<code bash qemunet.cfg>
+# linux alpinex
+SYS[alpinex]="linux"
+FS[alpinex]="$IMGDIR/alpinex.img"
+QEMUOPT[alpinex]="-localtime -m 512"
+</code>
+Then run this image in raw mode:
+  $ ./qemunet.sh -l alpinex
+First enable DHCP in /etc/network/interfaces and reboot...
+To enable french keyboard:
+  $ apk add kbd setxkbmap
+  $ setxkbmap fr                  # for french keyboards
+Then install Xorg and XFCE desktop environment:
+  $ setup-xorg-base
+  $ apk add alpine-desktop
+  $ apk add faenza-icon-theme      # for icons
+  $ apk add xf86-input-mouse xf86-input-keyboard # useful?
+  $ apk add xf86-video-modesetting # recommended for Qemu guests?
+  $ apk add dbus lxdm sudo
+  $ rc-update add dbus ; rc-service dbus start
+  $ rc-update add udev ; rc-service udev start
+Add a desktop user (as sudoer):
+  $ adduser toto                  # password toto
+  $ addgroup sudo
+  $ addgroup toto sudo
+  $ emacs /etc/sudoers            # %sudo ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL
+Launch the XFCE4 desktop with LXDM:
+  $ rc-service lxdm start     # don't forget to select xfce session, before to log in!
+If it works... quit XFCE
+  $ rc-update add lxdm
+  $ reboot
+To enable "fr" keyboard in Xorg, add this section:
+<code text /etc/X11/xorg.conf>
+Section "InputClass"
+	Identifier	"Keyboard Default"
+	MatchIsKeyboard	"yes"
+	Option		"XkbLayout" "fr"
+EndSection
+</code>
+Try to get lightweight system by replacing "alpine-desktop" meta-package by "xfce4 + firefox".
