totally possible. I have done it on a PC.
first issue, get a speedy flash drive
second issue, Registry. City of heroes will want to be installed, not sure how that will work on a mac, especially since you are disabled from installing anything. Hopefully some mac people will pop up here soon!

Due to an annoying series of events, the only internet-connected computer I have access to at the moment is the one in my grad student office at school. My gaming desktop isn't working right now and I don't know what's wrong with it or have the time or money to repair it, and my laptop can't run CoH.
On the other hand, the computer in my office at school is a relatively modern mac with a 3ghz processor, 4 gigs of ram, and a radeon 4670 gfx card. However, I don't have the permissions to install anything on it. I had heard, though, that it was possible to play the mac version of CoH from a flash drive without installing anything. Obviously I'm not going to be playing CoH here during the day (as if I would have the time anyway!) but since I have a key to the building I don't see any reason why I couldn't come back after dinner or stop by on a saturday to play for a few hours.
So there's two pieces of information I would like. First, if anyone has done this, a rundown of what you did to get it working would be great. Second, I need to know how much space the mac install takes up at the moment so I know how big a flash drive I need. If anyone could help me out with these two items I'd appreciate it.
