Yes, 'make config' will prompt you for everything again, but your current answers are given as defaults and hitting enter will retain them. I've gone through 'make config' a few times in the early days when I had to fix one answer. It's tedious but you can do it. 'make oldconfig' will only prompt you for new questions, and is designed to be run on a newer release kernel than the one it was previously run for (so you only get asked the new questions). 'make config' and 'make menuconfig' will edit your existing setup. AFAIK, the only commands that will blow away your .config are 'make mrproper' and 'rm .config'. Geoff.
