Okay, I have to ask this.... I feel stupid but I've not seen the answer yet.
(No doubt as soon as I send this I'll figure it out.)

If I take the kernel sources (/usr/src/linux*) and do a "make mrproper" to 
clean them up/out, I end up with a "blank slate".  This works fine.

Now, if I copy a config from the configs directory to be ".config" (or if I 
used a config file from another build) what's the *next* step to be done?

Using 'make dep' fails.  Doing a 'make config' doesn't do as I'd expect.
Also, doing a 'make oldconfig' doesn't seem to take use the '.config' file as 
gospel and makes changes to it.

So what's the deal, does a '.config' file represent ALL the needed 
switches/options to create a new kernel?  I guess some of what I'm looking 
for here is reproducability.

Anyone got any thoughts on this?
(Or a manual for me to RTFM?)

Thanks for your time.
