DJ,
Agreed that the distribution has gotten bloated. In future releases I'd like to change it to not include most of the data and to have recon-all or other utilities print a 'wget' command to use to download the data when needed.
I've updated the ReleaseNotes section with a list of some directories of stuff that is not used in the default stream. So deletion depends on whether you or your local user-base will ever need these, which can be tough to predict:
* freesurfer/average/mult-comp-cor - Correction for Multiple Comparisons pre-calc - 1.3G * freesurfer/subjects/fsaverage? - fsaverage at other iso-levels - 310M * freesurfer/subjects/fsaverage_sym - symmetric fsaverage for contra-lateral surface mapping - 197M * freesurfer/subjects/cvs_avg* - CVS Combined Volume and Surface registration target - 531M * freesurfer/trctrain - Tracula training set - 886M
These files in total are about 3GB.

Hi,
I was trying to install Freesurfer on a HPC cluster. It seems to be a pretty large distribution, ~4.3 GB after unpacking. I wonder if all the subfolders are needed for running freesurfer or is there any folders could be skipped. Thanks in advance.
