[Ilugc] Creating a .config file from a running kernel

I think that 2.6 series of kernels have a feature that makes it possible to
create a .config file from a running kernel. Anybody knows how to do this?
If you did "Enable access to .config through /proc/config.gz" in "General
Setup" (at the 'make menuconfig', or CONFIG_IKCONFIG=y, CONFIG_IKCONFIG_PROC=y
in your .config file) while compiling your 2.6 kernel, you can access your
.config file of a running kernel by simply copying /proc/config.gz to a
different directory and 'gunzip'-ing the same.
