Sorry, I think you'll have to buy a new hard drive. Don't feel too mad at yourself, though: an overnight copy session can hardly be considered disk-intensive, and a little bit of extra work was just enough to push it over the edge. The hard drive was probably on its …

I can't say I do. I mean, what is this theme for? KDE? Gnome? <insert some random window manager>? There are literally millions of themes for various types of software that run on Linux.

It's quite a gray area, however.

You need to install the appropriate locales for your system to be able to handle special characters. This varies from distro to distro; check the manual for more details.

Maybe not the best solution, but try changing the line in [icode]/etc/yum.repos.d/dries.repo[/icode] from [code]http://ftp.belnet.be/packages/dries.ulyssis.org/fedora/linux/$releasever/[color="red"]$basearch[/color]/dries/RPMS/[/code] to [code]http://ftp.belnet.be/packages/dries.ulyssis.org/fedora/linux/$releasever/[COLOR="green"]i386[/COLOR]/dries/RPMS/[/code] Or perhaps you accidentally typed an extra '$'?
