A clarification, (this may be obvious) I believe that the 'create a new
config file for each new kernel' applies to changed kernel source,
either version upgrade or patches added.If you use the same source but
want to add or subtract a module or feature there is no need to start
from scratch,with a new config file.
You only have to answer the questions for the changes though :) This is
not to time consuming if you use 'xconfig' which allows you to skip
around in the config sequence.
