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.

about 'startx' not available or having trouble. i do not recall his post.

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.
