Look for a file called /boot/config-[KERNELVERSION].
You can copy this to your kernel source directory (e.g. /usr/src/linux) but
rename it to ".config". When you run "make config", "make menuconfig" or "make
xconfig" to configure your kernel, it will use this .config file as a base for
its settings. Modify things however you want, save and compile as usual.
