No, that's only half of the truth. You need to copy .config from your old 
kernel first. I'd compile the config into the kernel, so that you can access it 
from the running kernel any time, via /proc/config(.gz).

This is how I do it since years. Works fine. Never used oldconfig.

But in "make help" when you are in the kernel source directory.
