Sean,

The way it always worked for me on both RH6.2 and Debian 2.2 is just cd 
to the source directory (if you're *not* on Debian that ought to be 
/usr/src/linux) and type 'make menuconfig' or 'make xconfig'. The config 
script will take your current values, ie the values your distributor 
built your kernel with, as default.

Good Luck,
