if the bios supports it
you can just take any of the small linux distros and ready it is.

Not really practical
You always need some kind of operating system. The operating system is the layer between your programs and your computer hardware. If you want to create an app that doesn't need an operating system then you'd basically have to build a mini operating system into your app.
As suggested, rather than go down that road, you're better off using a very small Linux distribution and setting up a bootable Flash drive version. Something like DSL, TinyCore or Puppy Linux would be examples of such a distribution.
And you'll have the usua
And you'll have the usua config prpblems on a typical newly installed OS, such as missing drivers or network IP's. This is fine for a computer whose config you knos, but not for other ones
Eiñ??? A siñature????
No
For Windows yes but not so for Linux Live systems.
