The CVS tree is still 2.4.17.

We will not make a 2.4.18 based kernel available until 2.4.18 actually comes
out. We do have 2.4.18-pre9 running here, but we are not making things 
public
yet, the reason being that the extended attribute/acl kernel interface 
will be
changing in this version to use the new system calls. A new user space will
be required for this so we do not want to just put this out willy nilly.
