It depends on how your Linux host was previously set up.
If the installation used a default, pre-compiled kernel, there is no place
that you can find the configuration file for your setup on the host. (In
fact, you can't even know without checking that the kernel source is itself
available; I don't recall if a stock RH install includes it. For that
matter, not all stock installs include the gcc compiler that you will need.)
If the installation used a custom kernel, compiled on the list, it is
*probably* in /usr/src/linux/.config (don't miss that leading "."). It may
also be saved under some other name in /usr/src/linux, but that is entirely
at the discretion of whoever did the compile.
BTW, I suspect that RH 6.1 uses a somewhat old kernel (Linux is currently up
to 2.2.15 in the stable branch). I seem to recall that SMP (dual processor)
support was flaky in the earlier 2.2.x kernels, so you may want to consider
moving to a newer 2.2.x kernel as part of this change.

Since i need to recompile by box to accommodate SMP, I just want to make
sure that during compilation, i just add SMP support and not mess with the
existing config.
