Thanks.  I needed a challenge.  Most usenet questions are easily
answered with a bit of Googling and some intelligent guesswork.
Decoding English as a second language type postings adds the necessary
challenge.  If you do a reverse DNS lookup on the IP address in the
header, it resolves to:
  cable-188-2-16-188.dynamic.sbb.rs
which is near Belgrade, Serbia.  SBB is Serbia BroadBand:
<http://www.sbb.rs/SBB/2/Home+page.shtml>

In this case, I think he's trying to recover the operating system on
an IBM T43 laptop, which was eaten by a virus.  Not a big deal, but
he'll need a way to boot to the recovery partition before proceeding.
