deleted kernel source


crap...

I've deleted the 2.6.11.5 src directory instead of the 2.4.29.

Is there any way i can get a copy of the .config file which my system is currently using again, so that i can use it on a newly downloaded 2.6.11.5 source? I don't want to lose my configs and start all over again =(

EDIT:
p.s., kernel 2.6.11.6 is out =)

you may well have the stupidly handy congix module built into your kernel... check for /proc/config.gz. if that's ot there,\ maybe config.ko is compiled as a module, so try modprobing it.

and.... if you can't find this at all.. remember to include it next time!
