What I meant was I put my application in autoexec.bat so that my
application will run immediately when the user boots from a bootable
dos disk.

In what form IS your application?
Is it source code that you wrote then you can compile it on any Linux
distribution and then build a floppy/CD to boot and run it.

Good luck

Thanks, its a C program so I believe it can be compiled on any linux
distribution.

Oh yes..simply put something in the init directories so it boots and runs..however that is not distro-less.. Its simply shell less. But you need the shell to get it there initially.

What you mean is stripped down linux that runs something automatically on boot.

No problem really, other than stripping it down to remove what isn't needed.

If its a one off you probably wouldnt strip it very far. If its a production machine thats tight on RAM and disk space, you might spend a lot of time removing processes you don't need. And buulding kernels with lots of stuff you don't need removed as well.
