Altogether, you want to have the following sources in your urpmi media list:
ISO1 ISO2 ISO3 update-sources contrib plf
Once you have these, there's very little software that you'll have to compile from source.
Check it out from the Update Media GUI, or from the command line with:
urpmq --list-media

Roger, if I was you I'd install it using urpmi (or the Drake GUI that

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.
