Yes. I was expecting somebody to be a bit more 'direct'.
$ cd /usr/src/linux-whatever $ cp .config .. $ make mrproper $ cp ../.config . $ make oldconfig $ make dep ; make bzImage ; make modules ; make modules_install

FYI, a <not recommended by many who have gotten burned> easy way to make quick changes in the .config is to edit .config directly, then execute `make oldconfig`. This usually works so you don't have to answer a thousand questions.
