A quicker way would be to copy the config  file you generated (it will be
.config in the source tree) into the new source tree.  Example:
  
    cd /usr/src
    cp linux-2.2.0-pre6/.config linux-2.2.0
    cd linux-2.2.0
    make oldconfig
    ...
 
If there are any new defines that your config file doesn't have, you will
be prompted wrt those, otherwise all previous values will be used.
