how do you configure the auto updated kernel?


I just installed Fedora 2 and used YUM to update everything, my kernel even got updated, however I don't know how to configure this new kernel since it was automatically downloaded and configured for me, any pointers?

how to i find the source that was downloaded from YUM so that I can configure it? thanks.

The source code is usually installed as a seperate package, usually called something like kernel-sources, that will be automatically updated along with the main kernel.

Tip:To reconfigure to the running configuration after a kernel update (to use as a starting point; it won't effect new options) use
Code:
make cloneconfig

i ran: yum update kernel-source

and it says i have the latest version installed 2.6.8-1.521
but when i go into my /usr/src directory, i only see the folder for 2.6.5-1.521, this was the original source that was installed with FC2, also when i tried make cloneconfig in that folder, it wouldn't let me, saying:

# make cloneconfig
HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep
HOSTCC scripts/basic/split-include
HOSTCC scripts/basic/docproc
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `cloneconfig'. Stop.
make: *** [cloneconfig] Error 2



... so where did the source RPM install to? how can i configure it?
