Porteus

does anyone have or know how to make a htop application on porteus 5.0rc3?

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

oh i will check that, Thank you

Ah, one of my favorites.

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

Or you can install htop like this or you can use
