I am trying to get bochs working on Fedora11.

I am using the Hercules image that was distributed in Jun/Jul timeframe
running under Hercules 3.06

After manually installing the BIOS images I was able to cleanly install
bochs - when I went to start it I realised that I would need xwindows so I
then did "yum install Xorg*" - the install occurred without a glitch - then
when I go to "startx" I get the following - I am now at the deep end and
floundering - can anyone suggest what steps I need to proceed ???   I read
the man page and tried adding a server name with "startx --Xvfb" - I chose
this as it did exist in /usr/bin   I tried all /etc/bin/X* files as the
server name with the same result.

-bash-4.0# startx
xauth:  creating new authority file /root/.serverauth.1231

xinit:  No such file or directory (errno 2):  no server "/usr/bin/X" in PATH

Use the -- option, or make sure that /usr/bin is in your path and
that "/usr/bin/X" is a program or a link to the right type of server
for your display.  Possible server names include:

    Xorg        Common X server for most displays
    Xvfb        Virtual frame buffer
    Xfake       kdrive-based virtual frame buffer
    Xnest       X server nested in a window on another X server
    Xephyr      kdrive-based nested X server

giving up.
xinit:  No such file or directory (errno 2):  unable to connect to X server
xinit:  No such process (errno 3):  Server error.
