Does Limewire work on Public Library computers?
I live in Wichita, KS and I was wondering if Limewire would work on public library computers. That way I don't have to put it on my own computer.

Very doubtful. Libraries do not waant to be responsible if you are caught stealing and sharing copyrighteed material. And people do get caught. People as young as 12 years old get busted. "The music industry has turned its big legal guns on Internet music-swappers รข€” including a 12-year-old New York City girl who thought downloading songs was fun." "Brianna LaHara said she was frightened to learn she was among the hundreds of people sued yesterday by giant music companies in federal courts around the country." "I got really scared. My stomach is all turning," Brianna said last night at the city Housing Authority apartment where she lives with her mom and her 9-year-old brother."

Most public libraries have strict usage guidelines that prohibit installing or saving anything on their computers, including but especially P2P clients like Limewire, BearShare, Morpheus, etc. If you don't trust it enough to install it on your own computer, perhaps you shouldn't trust it at all.

LImewire requires downloading. Every public library I have ever been to either has their computers set so you can't download or makes you sign a statement that you won't do it.
4 :
most likely not but you could always try
5 :
No, the settings on the computer will not allow you to download anything to the computer.
