-The easiest way to add more features to your Emacs is to use the
-command @kbd{M-x list-packages}.  This contacts the
-@uref{https://elpa.gnu.org, GNU ELPA} (``Emacs Lisp Package Archive'')
-server and fetches the list of additional packages that it offers.
-These are GNU packages that are available for use with Emacs, but are
-distributed separately from Emacs itself, for reasons of space, etc.
-You can browse the resulting @file{*Packages*} buffer to see what is
-available, and then Emacs can automatically download and install the
-packages that you select.  @xref{Packages,,, emacs, The GNU Emacs Manual}.

-There are other, non-GNU, Emacs Lisp package servers, including:
-@uref{https://melpa.org, MELPA}; and
-@uref{https://marmalade-repo.org, Marmalade}.  To use additional
-package servers, customize the @code{package-archives} variable.  Be
-aware that installing a package can run arbitrary code, so only add
-sources that you trust.  Also, packages hosted on non-GNU package
-servers may encourage or require you to install and use non-free
-software; for example, MELPA is known to host some packages that do
-this.
