When I build a kernel I normally take the config file for the current

on NTFS support (yes I know there is a rpm for this).
I guess my question is this: Is this a good way of building a kernel?
Or would I be better off building my own config file.

Oh thats cool Paul. Thanks. I have always done it from getting the
source for the kernel at kernel.org and then doing the make mrproper,
make xconfig, make bzImage, make modules, and then make modules_install.
I will take a shot at this the next time I build a kernel.
Is there any thing wrong with the way I do it now?
