 In addition to the standard Drupal requirements you will need the following to
 make use of Build Kit:
 
-- drush 3.1 - http://drupal.org/project/drush

 Getting started
 ---------------
-Build Kit for 7.x requies several patches to be applied to Drupal core. It
-provides a `distro.make` file for building a full Drupal distro including core
-patches as well as a copy of the `buildkit` install profile.
+You can use drush to download Drupal core with the Build Kit installation
+profile.
 
-1. Grab the `distro.make` file from Build Kit and run:
-
-        $ drush make distro.make [directory]

-   or use its url on Drupal.org directly:
