How to extract CONFIG file for a kernel

How to extract CONFIG file for a kernel

[SK]

Is there any way to extrace the CONFIG file
used to compile a kernel. I have 2.4.18-14 kernel
from RedHat and I want to know the config options
used for compiling that kernel.

Any ideas..?
Thanks
Santhosh

If you have RH's /usr/src directory installed, you can cd to
/usr/src/linux-2.4/configs and pick from several pre-built config files.
they work nicely. I use them to build kernel.org kernels. It's *much*
easier to make a few config changes to their config file than starting
from scratch. They tend to be highly modular though... some people don't
like this.

Good luck!

in addition there's a copy of the current config as
/boot/config-`uname -r`
