Try looking at this guide
http://fedoranews.org/contributors/vitor_domingos/ntfs/

You should do make menuconfig in whichever directory you extracted linux2.6.7 in

For example 
mv linux2.6.7 /usr/src
tar -xvjf linux2.6.7
cd linux2.6.7
cp /boot/config-2.6.5-435 .
make menuconfig
load old config file
change options
save
make bzImage && make modules modules install  & make install
