This is what I ended up doing to make it work:
In order to install the Legato Networker client at the May 2002 level the
following had to be done.


1. Mount the Legato Linux client CD

2. Logon as root

3.  Enter ?mkdir  /etc/rc.d   ?

4.  Enter ?mkdir /etc/rc.d/init.d ?

5.  Networker requires a lower level curses package then the one installed
on Slackware. The new level should be upward compatible so we fake it out
by creating a link to the new release.
    Enter ?ln ?s libncurses.so.5 libncurses.so.4?

6.  The install script for Networker looks for ?sed? to be located
at ?/bin/sed?, but on Slackware it?s really at ?/usr/bin/sed? so we have to
fake it out again by creating a link.
     Enter ?ln ?s /usr/bin/sed /bin/sed?


7.  Since Slackware doesn?t really use the ?Red Hat Package Manager (rpm)
we have to fake out the install process.
    Enter ??cd /mnt/cdrom/linux86?

Enter the following to install the client
  ?rpm -i --nodeps /mnt/cdrom/linux86/LGTOclnt/lgtoclnt-6.1.1-1.i386?

Enter the following to install the man pages
            ?rpm -i --nodeps LGTOman/lgtoman-6.1.1-1.i386.rpm?

8.  I still need to find the Slackware packages so we can use the X windows
pecies, but the command line seems to work just find.  In other words don?t
use the Legato commands prefixed with ?nw? because they require X-Windows.

libXt.so.6 => not found
         libX11.so.6 => not found
         libXext.so.6 => not found
