for xconfig?

I have found /usr/src/linux2.2.16/configs/linux-2.2.16.config

and

/usr/src/linux/configs/linux-2.2.16.config

as well as a few other .config files in those two directories.

What I'm doing is loading the old config into xconfig and I need to know the exact file.

Thanks in advance, where would I be without you guys?

i don't have my machine in front of me, but perhaps you should try:
/etc/XF86Config-4
/etc/XF86Config
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4
/etc/X11/XF86Config

if none of those are found, i'll look at home tonight for ya, and see what i have... i'm using redhat 7.1, so it should be similar

No, I'm talking about for kernel configuration.

like when you run "make xconfig", or "make menuconfig".

well there's <sourcedir>/.config, but there are a whole lotta other config files out there too. Why not just do make config? I tried editing individual config files once...there are a lot of them out there throughout the kernel source tree. If even one of them is out of sync with the others, the compile is a no-go. Easier to make menuconfig or xconfig.
