How do you do it? Isn't it a pain to go through the entire configuration
routine when, perhaps, all you want is an additional feature that's
recently become stable? Or, perhaps, you want an additional feature that
you didn't compile in previously?

Also, I'd like to know that if I copied .config from 2.4.4 to 2.4.19,
what happens to the new configuration features  that may have become
available in 2.4.19. For example, would NEW_FEATURE show up in the
correct category when I do "make menuconfig"?

Thanks.
