1. put the following in your ".emacs"-file:

-----------cut here---------------------------------------

;;; -- GNUs USENET-News reader

(setq loadpath (cons 

;;PUT THE GNUS-DIRECTORY HERE:
                "/usr/users/django/emacs/gnus"

                load-path))
     
(autoload 'gnus           "gnus"     "Read network news." t)
(autoload 'gnus-post-news "gnuspost" "Post a new news." t)

;;PUT THE ADDRESS OF THE NEWSSERVER IN HERE:
(setq gnus-nntp-server "news.gwdg.de")
(setq gnus-nntp-service 119)

;;PUT YOUR OWN HOST-ADDRESS HERE:
(setq gnus-use-generic-from "namu01.gwdg.de")
(setq gnus-use-generic-path "namu01.gwdg.de")

(setq gnus-user-full-name (user-full-name))

;;WRITE WHATEVERYOUWANT HERE:
(setq gnus-your-organization "Universitaet Goettingen, Germany")

(setq gnus-author-copy "~/Sent-news")
(setq gnus-article-save-directory "~/News")

(setq gnus-show-all-headers nil)
(setq gnus-save-all-headers t)
(setq gnus-default-article-saver 'gnus-Subject-save-in-file)
(setq gnus-Article-prepare-hook 'gnus-Article-simplify-references)

(setq gnus-Startup-hook
      '(lambda()
	 (define-key gnus-Group-mode-map "\r" 'gnus-Group-select-group)
	 (define-key gnus-Subject-mode-map "\r" 'gnus-Subject-show-article)
	 (define-key gnus-Article-mode-map "\r" 'gnus-Article-refer-article)
;; remove the semicolons in front of the following lines to use
;; the respective packages, IF YOU GOT THEM. (i recommend gnus-speedups!)
;;	 (require 'gnus-hide)
;;	 (require 'gnus-speedups)
;;	 (load "gnus-mark")
	 )
      )

(defun gnus-reconnect () "Reconnect to the NNTP server from within GNUS"
  (interactive)
  (nntp-open-server gnus-nntp-server)
  (message "Reconnected to NNTP server."))

------------cut here------------------------------------------


2. edit the portions highlighted by ;;UPPERCASE COMMENTS:

3. start emacs anew. type `M-x gnus'.

4. wait. a long time. have patience. (approx. 20 min.)

5. eventually the list of newsgroups will appear. use ENTER to select sth,
   q to return.
