Roll on next Monday, when I'll have a chance to get back in to this - just so busy this week, hardly enough time to quickly check these postings. Thanks to everyone for all the tips.

Roger, if I was you I'd install it using urpmi (or the Drake GUI that comes with Mandrake). Do you have a "contrib" source configured? If not, add one, pointing it at one of: ftp://ftp2.jetstreamgames.co.nz/pub/dist/mandrake/official/10.0/contrib/i58 6/ ftp://ftp2.jetstreamgames.co.nz/pub/dist/mandrake/official/9.2/contrib/i586 /
according to which version of the distribution you're using, and setting the "relative path to hdlist" to:
../../i586/Mandrake/base/hdlist.cz
You can set this up from the Drake GUI (I'm not sitting in front of it now - I think you go to the Update Media GUI), or you can do it from the command line (as root):
urpmi.addmedia contrib ftp://ftp2.jetstreamgames.co.nz/pub/dist/mandrake/official/10.0/contrib/i58 6 with ../../i586/Mandrake/base/hdlist.cz
So. Once you have a "contrib" source, you can then just install xwc from your normal Mandrake "Install Software" GUI. It sorts out all the dependencies and everything. You'll only get xwc-0.91.4patch1-16mdk.i586.rpm though, so not quite so up-to-date as the version you've been trying to download.
Hope this helps.
Douglas.
That command is correct just type it out on one line. For more info on Urpmi and how to set it up see the clug wiki.
