Later (all?) 2.6 kernels support embedding the .config file inside the
binary kernel itself.  You may have noticed that when you are running a
2.6 kernel and configure a fresh 2.6 kernel source tree it automagically
selects the options you have in your currently booted kernel.

The two configure options are CONFIG_IKCONFIG and CONFIG_IKCONFIG_PROC,
listed under General Setup.

Get a 2.6 source tree, and have a look at scripts/extract-ikconfig under
the root of the tree - it will extract the .config file from a binary
kernel, assuming it was compiled with the relevant option.

You can then either examine the .config file directly or drop it into
/usr/src/linux/ (or wherever you extracted the kernel tarball to) and
view or modify the configured options.
