Assuming that you do not modify kernel
Not that difficult to make your own:
1) copy Slackware 6.6.x config to 6.7.x folder. Run nconfig, save it. Do not modify.
or to streamline kernel
2) copy Slackware 6.6.x config to 6.7.x folder. Connect all external devices, netwotk.
Run localmodconfig. You get kernel adjusted to your hardware. If you forgot to enable something then modify config and re-run kernel compilation
Slackware default 6.6.x kernel and config is available but if this is too complicated then I would suggest to stick with the defaults.

Year 2024, Round 07
Another batch of updates has been scheduled for release on Wednesday, 31 January 2024, at approximately 17:00, GMT.
The details:
6.7.3-rc1, with 346 patches, https://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/...1.3/06774.html
Decades ago (yes, I know ) I was puzzled by "wrong" results returned when doing index look-ups, until a fellow coder could enlighten me: the first entry in the index is numbered 0 and not 1... sigh.
Never ever saw any logic for that... and now see the ext4 guys fall in the trap too!

ext4_last_grp_cluster() takes a 0 based group index, thus the valid values
for grp are 0..(ext4_get_groups_count - 1).
I for one, I run localmodconfig / make menuconfig and add a few missing modules (mainly usb & fs), and that's enough for my needs
@Lockywolf, I always do it in a sort of similar way zcat /proc/config.gz > .config
yes "" | make oldconfig
make menuconfig to add anything else when needed.
