| Whereas I do compile many different kernels as I maintain a linux network | of 8 machines + server. What I would like is for make config to recognize | an old .config file and tell me about any new options, and hide all the | questions about previously existing options. Then I could simply have a | .config file for each significantly different computer, and answer a *much* | reduced 'make quickconfig' to recompile the kernels. That way I know I can't | make a slip whilst answering make config and miss out some important driver | from the kernel for one computer and/or put an extra driver into the kernel | for another.
This functionality is already there! Simply copy your previous .config file and do a "make oldconfig". You will only be prompted to answer new configuration items.
