Hannah,

Hi! I think on the Mac, the command is:

cp -LR

that is, a capital R instead of lowercase (which is the case on linux). I'll update the wiki page.

Hi,

I have a problem with the command for creating a frozen version of an old freesurfer distribution.

When running the first step cp -Lr /usr/local/freesurfer/stable /path/to/yourdirectory/freesurfer I get the error that the -L flag is incompatible with the cp command:

bruehh01% cp -Lr /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/Applications/freesurfer/stable /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/Applications/Freesurfer_4.5_BPD/freesurfer cp: the -H, -L, and -P options may not be specified with the -r option.

can anyone help me with this?

Thanks a lot!

Hannah
