    Question Mini Windows

    hi guys i have read about mini windows i think it was here a few months ago and today i had time to play around trying to get it to work but i have hit a wall what file do i use to get it into a gui ? i know the Win98setup.bin gives you the windows 98 setup screen but i would like program manager(progman.exe) to load as i thought that was the file that gets loaded to make the gui but this is the win98 version i assume and i just get the error saying "error loading progman.exe".

    when i change the system.ini file line saying shell=w98setup.bin to progman.exe i still get the same error.

    i think i am using the right program to start it im using dosx.exe and i am running it from dos mode(not windows dos mode f8 method).

    also when i get past this point is there anything else i need to know ?

    many thanx Mike

    Note : i have done a search on these boards looking for mini.cab but couldnt find the info i need. Thanx again
