I think that I actually am starting to find this. I was browsing around the
iso's that I have and on the ReactOS.iso I could see that it all goes
through the ReactOS installation process. On that iso, the base core files
seem to be loaded after which control is passed to the installer
"ReactOS.exe" which utilizes a GUI and does not seem to be at the native
level although I could be wrong.

I'm still not sure which last core file passes control over to the
reactos.exe file, but it seems like this installation process might be a
good starting point for the experiment that I am working towards.

Cheers,
