Hi, due to a question in #IRC I realized that some people are not aware
of the package management features of Emacs. Of course it's covered in
the manual but I think we can mention it in the tutorial. Elpa and
NonGnu are pre-configured so a beginner user should feel comfortable
installing packages from there. 

Attaches is a patch with a short section about package installation and
deletion. Modified the English version.

Best,

+* INSTALLING PACKAGES
+---------------------
+
+Emacs has a rich set of packages written by the community, which
+extends Emacs' capabilities.  These features include support for new
+languages, additional themes, plugins to integrate with external
+applications and much much more.
+
+To install a package type M-x package-install <Return> and choose a
+package. To uninstall, type M-x package-delete <Return> and choose a
+package to remove.
+
+>> Type M-x package-install <Return> which-key <Return> to install
+   the 'which-key' package, for example.
+
+>> Type M-x package-delete <Return> which-key <Return> to delete
+   the package you just installed.
