This step was part of 2.4 series kernel. For 2.6 you do not need this
step.

It looks like you are on Fedora Core. You can get working .config file
from /boot/config-2.6.5-1.358, or from
/usr/src/linux-2.6.5-1.358/config if you have sources installed. After
you copy config file as .config in /usr/src/linux directory, do make
oldconfig, it will pick up old configuration and will ask you about
newer options in the kernel.

Not sure aht you are asking here.
