copying menuconfig help options

Dear members, Is it possible to copy all the options that

Code:

make menuconfig

offers while compiling the kernel to a single text file ?. The benefit
will be, one can first read that file at leisure with just a text editor or cat, without running the command "make menuconfig". Thanks in advance.

Have you tried

Code:

cat /boot/config-$(uname -r)

which works for me.

Thanks tredegar, is it possible to accumlate the help output associated with each config option in a single file ? I think menuconfig uses /Docmentation/configure.help file to display the help (but I am not sure).

Thankyou Tinkster, this will help me. I am in process of trimming my Slackware 12.2 kernel.
