Oh FFS. Now look. I looked through 2 LPIC books, Linux quick fix, and
Linux in a Nutshell before asking, and didn't find that.

I didn't do man sed because I thought LiaN was basically the MAN pages
printed out.

I was determined not to get caught by a RTFM situation, which is why I
really, really did.

But I didn't, did I.

Anyway, as it turns out, there aren't that many instances so I've made
the changes now, manually.

-i looks like it might have worked, <teeth option="gritted">cheers
