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.
