To modify the std redhat kernel: The configs are in a configs dir after installing the kernel*.src rpm look in /usr/src/linux-kernelversion/configs find the one for your architecture and copy it up one dir to .config or choose it from the xconfig gui. What if there are new menus items. from an older version .config file seems like you can do a make oldconfig and you will be asked only about the new stuff. > added in the new source will they be preserved?
