the required line and save the edited file...
but in normal sed you have to redirect the edited file to someother file...
just go through the man page of sed... and awk...

dtc_kill_vps_disk
dtc_kill_vps_disk(8) System Manager's Manual dtc_kill_vps_disk(8)
NAME
dtc_kill_vps_disk - destroy LVM disks for freeing space
SYNOPSIS
dtc_kill_vps_disk VPS_NUMBER [ lvm|loopback ]
DESCRIPTION
dtc_kill_vps_disk This shell script is a part of the dtc-xen package that is to be used by the dtc panel to manage a Xen VPS server.
This script is used to delete a partitions that was used by a VPS. It will delete the normal partition that was used as a root disk, and
the swap partition.
dtc_kill_vps_disk is to be used by the dtc-xen SOAP server, but can also be used as a standalone userland tool.
OPTIONS
VPS_NUMBER has to be a number between 01 and 19. Let's say the number is 16, and that dtc-xen is configured to use the volume group called
lvm1, then this script will create /dev/lvm1/xen16 and /dev/lvm1/xen16swap.
IMAGE_TYPE This parameter can have 2 values: either lvm or loopback. If ommited, then lvm is used. If lvm is used, then this script will
create a partition using lvmcreate, otherwise it will create an image file. Both will later be used for the VPS.
EXAMPLE
dtc_setup_vps_disk 04 lvm
This will delete the 2 LVM partitions that were used by the VPS named xen04, the first one being the root partition, and the second one
being the swap partition.
