Interestingly, there is jade, and there is openjade. I have no idea
what the difference is but I always use openjade. Looks like the
db2html script is using jade... which should be fine, but may help to
know that down the road.

I have Mandrake 8.1 and did the full whammy install too, but I
recommend you take a detour and go to the following HOWTO:
http://www.jimweller.net/jim/dbxmlqs/index.html
This guide is what got me finally up and running after several weeks
of frustration. One thing you must note: you will be instructed to
download several packages. Your openjade package is probably fine,
as it is a recent RPM, so I wouldn't bother downloading the tar file
for it. You will want to follow the rest of the instructions to the
letter, and I guarantee it will work.
The idea is that you will have several different directories with
different catalogs, but you can point your bash profile to use a
specified master catalog that lists those other paths within it.

I may not explain it as well as the guide, but give it a look. If
you need more help, I'd be happy to answer any more questions, as I
finally got the swing of DocBook, and know how frustrating it can be
to get started!
