Real quick question about steam

Recommended Posts

Hey, I was wondering if there was a way to install Steam onto a flash drive. I heard of people installing it on a 32GB flash and then installing a game on it to. I just want steam so I can see who's online when im away from my comp. Any advice or help will be appreciated. Thanks guys!

To add-on to what Kiri said, it also installs a service on your computer so you don't have to run Steam with elevated privileges everytime.

 

I am aware that Steam is capable of repairing itself in some cases (for instance in a broken installation) however whether it applies to other devices such as USB sticks... I do not know.

You don't need anything but the steam client to view friends/games list. Just download the client off steampowered.com and install/log on, you don't have to install any games and its 1mb.
