You cannot really stay current on binaries but you can gradually
convert your
binary installation to a self-compiled one. You said above that
your *main*
machine was a laptop with insufficient harddisk space and CPU
power. That
implies you do have at least one other box. You could keep the
one called "poke" and "peek"works on all unixes i've found so
far. pretty inexpensive, but not free. peek allows you to watch,
and the "poke" part lets you take over. or you can use vnc with a
particular argument to share the :0 display.

From man tar

So "-f -" is unnecessary, but
The file /etc/default/tar contains a list of tape devices. So on

if -f is not specified and $TAPE is not set, which it isn't by
