gnus: Starting Up

 
 1 Starting Gnus
 ***************
 
 If you haven’t used Emacs much before using Gnus, read Emacs for
 Heathens first.
 
    If your system administrator has set things up properly, starting
 Gnus and reading news is extremely easy—you just type ‘M-x gnus’ in your
 Emacs.  If not, you should customize the variable ‘gnus-select-method’
 as described in Finding the News.  For a minimal setup for
 posting should also customize the variables ‘user-full-name’ and
 ‘user-mail-address’.
 
    If you want to start Gnus in a different frame, you can use the
 command ‘M-x gnus-other-frame’ instead.
 
    If things do not go smoothly at startup, you have to twiddle some
 variables in your ‘~/.gnus.el’ file.  This file is similar to
 ‘~/.emacs’, but is read when Gnus starts.
 
    If you puzzle at any terms used in this manual, please refer to the
 terminology section (Terminology).
