There are good chances that Etch will contain 2.6.18, but due to some
open bugs the Release Candidate 1 of the installer has still 2.6.17.

One of the most blocking bugs is http://bugs.debian.org/395889 as there
is currently no way how the installer could install an 2.6.18 kernel and
packages that depend on udeb.

Please feel free to help us fixing these bugs.



Cheers,
Andi
