Matthew!

It's just a fscking everyday, banal error page! Even the MSIE error page
is quite simple. And even MS isn't including a Java-applet to play a
round of Breakout till the page is found, but maybe we should do that
with our error page? ;) I mean, just to make it more user friendly...

I agree with you that the current Web-Interface style is important for
new users. Everything is okay... but the error page.

Look, here is the error page I designed:

CHK at rezQpBUr-jVz0yZk9irdHlRxj8wLAwI,5saIJgsNIYQhIPa6rGYFow/dnf.html

Major changes:
- no clutter: 7 KiB => 1 KiB
- Spaces => Tabs
- no tables, images, gifs
- no connections to FProxy
- transitional => valid HTML 4.01 STRICT
- address of DTD is specified
- &try= => %26try=
- using <label>

Naturally, you can still apply some CSS properties if you like. A little
bit of color, another font-family, ...
