Interesting. xsltproc is a gnome tool, so that may (or may not) be why.
I've not dug into mandrake recently, so I'll have to install it onto a
vmware session to see how it works.

I'll get the setup later today. I've done the xslt transforms on
machines without the JDK using xsltproc, so I know it's possible.

Oh, and installing the JDK these days is pretty easy. Sun makes a tar.gz
and RPM versions of java available now. It typically extracts/installs 
to .usr/.java/jdkversion, so for 1.3.1 : 
1 - the JDK installs to /usr/java/jdk1.3.1_02
2 - export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.3.1_02
3 - export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin 
4 - java -version

and you should see this : 
[alchemist at pikachu](~)> java -version
java version "1.3.1_02"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1_02-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.1_02-b02, mixed mode)

voila! The jdk is installed and ready to go.

You may want the 8.2 upgrade.

er, you may not want to do this just yet

I'd opt for this - give me a little time this morning to find the tools
and sample stylesheets. FWIW, on Red Hat Linux 7.3 xsltpoc is part of
the libxslt package. I don't know what the Mandrake 8.2 equivalent is,
but I'll install it on vmware and find out...
