ps to see the .config for the running kernel you can:

zless /proc/config.gz

(although that too has to be compiled into the kernel - I recommend you
do it as standard, although it adds a little bit of size to the kernel.
It is very convenient if you accidentally blitz your .config file, which
you will  do if you use "make mrproper" without backing up)
