Hi, could you help me with
"Before first using GNU Emacs, to make sure that GNU Emacs clipboard is integrated with the system clipboard (IMPORTANT), make sure you have an .emacs file in your home directory with the following text:
(set-clipboard-coding-system 'utf-8)
(setq x-select-enable-clipboard t)
$ echo "(set-clipboard-coding-system 'utf-8)" >> ~/.emacs
$ echo "(setq x-select-enable-clipboard t)" >> ~/.emacs"

i don't really get it. thanks

1. Open the terminal.
2. Type:
echo "(set-clipboard-coding-system 'utf-8)" >> ~/.emacs
3. Hit ENTER
4. Type:
echo "(setq x-select-enable-clipboard t)" >> ~/.emacs
5. Hit ENTER

That's it.

This is exactly what Step 5 says:
It will complain about missing dependencies, this is the expected behavior.
That's what it's doing...
Continue to Step 6.

You will have in icon saying GNU Emacs in your menu.

Or you can start it from the terminal. Type:
emacs

unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

I think suggesting to anyone not intimately familiar with Linux (ie. already probing around with the x terminal) that they install a .deb directly is a bad idea.

I would recommend most people wait until an actual package is available at least in extras-testing before trying for CJK input.
