CNL VirtualBox Setup

Ok so I have no, with Antoine’s excellent help, setup the virtual linux machine on Arch4.

Once you are setup, a shared folder will exist between /bi-cnl-arch4/data/freesurfer and /home/cnl/freesurfer

This is the freesurfer director in ubuntu, DONT CLUTTER IT UP WITH OTHER STUFF!!!!!

You should be able to log into Arch4 remotely or in person on your account.

At this time you should see an icon on the desktop
