I thought so. Could not find startx anywhere on the drive. I suspect my install/upgrade was not correct.
interesting.
'startx' is/was a part of 'xorg-x11-xinit' package.
that is, that is as it is in current versions sl5.4 that i am running. f12 is still trashed so i can not reply for it.
if you are saying that it was not in fc8, i do not recall, tho i can say that i used it in fc8, as i always boot 'level 3' and i have always used "alias kde='startx'" in my 'bash.rc' file. [i am a lazy typer who like terse.]
script is located as '/usr/bin/startx', possibly you do not have '/usr/bin' in your "PATH", tho i would not think so.
"Doc" Savage warned me about this.
about 'startx' not available or having trouble. i do not recall his post.
I'm starting over after blowing away the FC8 install.
i wish i could run a fedora on my t380ed thinkpad, but not enough memory, so i will be loading 'dsl', when i 'round2it'.
much luck.
