copy your config to dist/install/boot/config-<version> and it will be
picked up by the next "make world".

e.g. dist/install/boot/config-2.6.12.6-xen

There are a number of ways of doing this, but here''s what''s
recommended:


 make linux-2.6-xen-config CONFIGMODE=menuconfig  (or xconfig)
 make linux-2.6-xen-build
 make linux-2.6-xen-install
