I just have to say that I totally agree.
The most painful way to do it is to download the kernel source rpm, install it,
grab the .config, then uninstall it.
Then download the source from ftp.kernel.org, and copy your .config there.
The reason I did all this, instead of just using the source rpm, was that I had
been having trouble compiling the VMWare modules for smp due to the kernel
header info.
