I'm building a custom livecd and I want to use the *default* kernel configuration file that goes with the stable kernel from "gentoo-sources". According to the snapshot I'm using, 20061217, the kernel is 2.6.18-r4. How can I find (or build) a kernel configuration file that represents a default kernel?

I don't think I follow you.  What are you looking for, exactly?  What
"default" do you mean?  The Release Engineering default?  The Linux
Kernel team's default?  My default for my personal machines?  There
really isn't a "default" per se.  If you want what *I* would be using
for 2007.0 (at this time), then you can grab the 2006.1 kernel config
that was used for your architecture.  In many cases, it is the exact
same one that "genkernel all" uses.

Yeah ... I think the 2007.0 default today is what I want -- something that would boot on an x86 and find all the hardware. What I'm trying to avoid is using my own kernel config. First of all, it's built for an Athlon T-Bird, second I'm running 2.6.19, third I've enabled just about every networking option there is, ...
