try to re-use your Fedora kernel config (usually located in /boot with
name like config-2.6.33-85.fc13.i686): copy that file to the directory
where you unpack the new kernel source and rename that as .config then
run "make oldconfig". The rest is the same.

PS: I have been told by few friends that now you can use "make
localmodconfig". This command will try to guess which options need to
be enabled based on current loaded kernel modules.
