It is also very useful for being able to check the configuration of
the kernel you are _actually_ running, vs what you _think_ you are
running! :-)

Copy .config from your old kernel's directory to the new one and run
make oldconfig.

 Thanks.

Yet another approach:

cd /usr/src/linux/
zcat /proc/config.gz  .config
make oldconfig
make config | menuconfig | xconfig

If you want a GUI type thing, you can try make xconfig instead of make
menuconfig.  Make sure you are in the right directory though. 
/usr/src/linux should work.

Is that what you are looking for?
