You can try the one on https://pkgs.org under 'Slackware Current' section. You'll need to convert the txz module to xzm (use right click).

BTW, Porteus already comes with 'top' application, which is very similar to htop :)

Ah, one of my favorites.

In the latest 5.0 final, it is a simple matter of

Code: Select all

getpkg htop
Which when prompted, I allowed to download into my /tmp directory. It got automatically converted into a module just fine. I moved that module out of /tmp into /mnt//sda1/porteus/modules so it would automatically become active on boot. For manual activation, using the /mnt/sda1/porteus/optional is a fine place to store it. Up to you. Maybe clear out /tmp of those modules now that you've copied/moved them out.

But honestly, I only use htop just to make sure that all my cpu cores are running - especially if I've used kernel cheatcodes to handle strange hardware to make sure I'm not running on just one core by doing so. (delving into acpi=noirq that kind of thing).

So if I'm really just using it as eye-candy to make sure all my cores are running, as fulalas pointed out, the standard "TOP" indicates that just fine.

The top that comes with Porteus allows a user to just hit the #1 key, and it will toggle the display to make sure all your cores are up and running.

Long way of saying that I don't really *need* htop for my purposes! :)
