Printing Kernel Options

["Sheldon E. Newhouse" <sen1 math msu edu>]

Use make xconfig or make menuconfig.  Each gives you an option to save
the config file.  Give it a suitable name, and then the next time you
can load it, modify it, etc.  E.g. I usually save a file as
config-2.0.36-1, config-2.0.36-2, etc.  (I am using RH-5.2 with 2.0.36).
 
Note: the files are stored in /usr/src/linux, so if you are going to
bring down a new and different source tree, you should copy them to a
different place; e.g. /usr/src.
