compiling kernel with encrypted file systems support

[Haim Ashkenazi <haim@consonet.com>]

Hi

I'm using woody with the 2.4.18-bf2.4-xfs kernel. I've noticed that I
can't use encrypted file systems. (according to the losetup manpage it
only works with the international kernel - I don't even know what's
that). I've searched in kernel.org but I couldn't find patches for
2.4.18. 
Anybody knows where can I get the required kernel patches from?

thanx
