Im installing slackware in virtualbox as a test run. Ive finished initial setup and Ive created a user and logged in to xfce. Now I want to install the vboxguest additions but I need gksu for the script to work. I searched the slackware package browser but theres no gksu. Also where can I find htop?

Here is the link for the slackbuilds. It's fairly straight forward.
I'm not sure why something is saying you need gksu for vbox guest additions, but you don't.
However, if you insist, you might have a look at ktsuss (also at SlackBuilds.org). While I won't go so far as to *recommend* doing this, I have found that quite a few things are happy enough using ktsuss instead if you trick them:
Yea, it was only the autorun.sh that requires gksu, I could have just executed the .run directly without gksu but its already installed and working perfectly now anyway. Thanks again guys for your help.
