I will be hiking the Appalachian Trail for 4-5 months and will have access to library computers along the way. If I down load eve to a flash drive could I keep loading skills for my accounts. |

Just copy over the EVE client from your HDD to the flash drive (assuming you have enough space on it), and you can then even run it from there directly if you want.
Since you only plan to change skills you shouldn't really care about also migrating your customized settings, which would be a tad longer to explain. |

Not wanting to contradict the great akita... but I've had issues with the version of directx that eve installs as it installs its self. It makes running it like you can with wow a little hit and miss. |

Yeah, it's a good idea to also put THIS on the flash drive (June 2010 DirectX redist package) |

I've been wondering the same kind of thing about my external harddrive..
What about the mac client on a mac partition? |

I don't see how this belongs in OOPE since it is still eve related.
Yes you can, also there is a shortcut command that you can have eve files written within the USB and not anywhere else (where it saves all the cache in a "secret" folder). What is the command? I forgot :( |

This should probably be in the Eve Tech Lab or Issues, Workarounds and Local. |

Just copying the install directory should be enough. If those library computers are running Vista or 7 EVE will not ask for a DirectX install, and if they're not i'd be more worried about whether you can actually install anything on them in the first place. Game should work out of it's own directory as far as i know, i've had my games on a seperate HD for a while, whenever i reinstalled Windows EVE ran without asking for anything straight away. |
