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.
.
I was not able to do dnf/yum anything
because Centos 7.2 could not fine my
ethernet port.
Someone off-list suggested I look at
"/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-<interfacename>,
it should be ONBOOT=yes." The default in
everything Centos that I had downloaded
recently was ONBOOT=no! Once that was
fixed I was able to collect the needed
files to make a usable system.
The original DVD download was 4+ GB but
was missing things like the GNOME
Desktop which I thought odd, I expected
it to at least provide a typical basic
system?
I have it working now with xfce, still a
project under work but I have gained a
lot of familiarity with virtualbox as a
result, my objective in this exercise,
so it's not a loss.
Thanks,
Bob
