I have not been following this thread as I have my own problems with KDE 
compiles but!

Most distros save a file in /boot that is the config file for the installed 
default kernel. Having said that Caldera never has but there used to be a 
file somewhere in /usr/src/linux that no longer seesm to exist. But all is 
not lost for if you go to /usr/src/linux-2.4.x that is the default installed 
kernel; logged in root and in a terminal call xconfig (nothing else), the 
config as called is usually the default config, which you can save to a file.
I always do this as 'save to', and name them 2.4.xcfg, you can relaod after 
this alter the config and save it as 2.4.x-1cfg, so you can have differing 
configs to recall and recompile on.

As I said it used to work, so its worth trying. I just did a test on 3.1.1 
default of 2.4.13 and I am running 17, it came up with waht I would expect of 
a default kernel with 90% selected.
