Hi there,
If I want to automagically replace text in a file, I can use `sed`. I don't
believe that `sed` can be invoked in such a way to change the file in place,
therefore two commands are necessary:

Why reinvent the wheel? Just use 'sfdisk -d'.

Is there a way to get KMS to set the resolution to 1680 x 1050 so that I
have more real estate on my external monitor. At present, the external
monitor is not getting full use with parts of it blacked out to make the
resolution of the laptop's screen.

u can use nxclient w/VNC protocol. The server shall then invoke a local
vnc server, log into it with a local nx client, and let you log into the
local client. That way you get nx's performance over a VNC connection
(sort-of).
