Thankyou for all of your suggestions, the solution to this problem was
posted by Tom Wesley tawesley@yahoo.com shortly after I got the question
posted to the proper list.

Tom Suggested the folloing:


use
# zcat /proc/config.gz > .config

the 2.6 config is gzipped

These commands worked perfectly; I'm running 2.6 and not looking back. 

:)
