I'm with you Stroller.

Although I do  have to admit and should admit since I'm OP on this
thread.  If I had of inserted the .config from running kernel.  I
would have been done on the first try.. The dozen or so questions were
nearly all no answers.  A few didn't default the way I wanted so I didn't
accept the default... maybe two were like that.

I fully agree with your point about what it really takes to `know' how
to configure a kernel.  People get a little too much mileage from the
breezy ` I do it in 5 minutes' line.  When all they really did was
move the .config file.
