Subject: make release without CVS tree

I am trying to make a local release without a CVS tree so I could bring
another system online.  I am having problems in the cvs section of the
release rule where Jordan, in a messaged dated 2 Aug 95, said to change the
.if !defined(RELEASETAG) section to tar -cf - -C /usr src | tar -xvf -C
${CHROOTDIR}/usr.  I seem to be getting a tar file called -C in the current
directory.  Is this right? 

Also, how much space should I require for this, as I seem to have only 26 
megs free on a 200 meg partition for /usr/obj, and /usr/obj/release?

TIA,

Wayne
