mysqldump

I have to import a large mysql dump (up to 10G). However the sql dump already predefined with a database structure with index definition. I want to speed up the db insert by removing the index and table definition.

That means I have to remove/edit the first few lines of a 10G text file. What is the most efficient way to do this on linux?

Programs that require loading the entire file into RAM will be an overkill to me.
