+You should be able to install it via
+urpmi
+http://silk.apana.org.au/pub/fcl/filecommander-2.40-release1_fedora10.i386.rpm
+or
+urpmi
+http://silk.apana.org.au/pub/fcl/filecommander-2.40-release1_fedora10.x86_64.rpm
+for x86_64 system, but that doesn't mean that the package will necessarily work.
+
+You can't add a Fedora/RHEL style repo as an urpmi repo, and as it only contains
+one package, which receives no updates, this is even quite useless.
