I don't have CentOS or SL at the moment.  But, since Centos is based on RedHat 
and the
packages are probably pretty much the same as fedora it sounds like you didn't 
choose a
desktop environment at install.

/usr/bin/startx probably is from the same package as on fedora which is 
xorg-x11-xinit.

So, I would do ...

dnf whatprovides /usr/bin/startx    (or the yum equivalent if that is what 
CentOS uses)

and then make sure it is installed.
