Well, that wasn't really what I was looking for. I don't have a
'.config' I want to use, I want the defaults! This is what I do:

 $ cd /usr/src
 $ tar -x -j -f linux-source.tar.bz2
 $ cd linux-2.6.7
 $ make menuconfig

And it pulls in /boot/config-2.6.8-1-k7 as my oldconfig.

Why is this happening?
How do I prevent it from happening?
