oldconfig usually works for minor version changes - just don't use it to
go from say a 2.4 to 2.6.
xconfig needs qt installed - I get an error about qt when I try to run it.

Hello,
Is it OK to use 'make oldmenuconfig' to ensure that the options I had
selected in a 2.6.x kernel also are selected for the newer 2.6. kernel?
Isn't 'make oldmenuconfig' deprecated for 2.6 or does it still work?
Also I perviously used xconfig (make xconfig) in lieu of make menuconfig,
but I cannot seem to find anything other than menuconfig. Surely
there is a nicer gui to use to build kernels and track options selected
in various kernel builds than the ole standby 'make menuconfig'.
ideas?
