clean up

Clean up all the things this won't use/need.
I'm going to add things back bit by bit instead
of trying to base it on the current version.

+# Linux driver backports package
+
+This package provides backport support for drivers from newer kernels
+down to older kernels. It currently backports 4 subsystems:
+
+  * Ethernet
+  * Wireless
+  * Bluetooth
+  * GPU
+
+This package provides the latest Linux kernel subsystem enhancements
+for kernels 2.6.24 and above. It is technically possible to support
+kernels < 2.6.24 but more work is required for that.
+
+# Documentation
+
+This package is documented online and has more-up-to date information
+online than on this README file. You should read the wiki page
+and not rely on this README!

+Copyright practice. Some files have their own copyright and in those
