Mac OS X Cheetah build 4K17 is a confirmed beta build of Mac OS X Cheetah. It was first shown off at Macworld 2001, where it was depicted running on a Power Mac G4.[1] It was later referenced in a legal demand from Apple against a blogging website, requesting that screenshots of the build itself be removed, along with images of build 4K8.[2]

No known screenshots or photographs of this build have been archived as of yet.
