Im planning to reinstall my system and I would like to reuse my current kernel (2.6.26) configuration with the new one (2.6.31). Is there any "correct" method to do this or simply should I copy the .config file?

1. Copy .config
2. Run "make oldconfig" in the new kernel directory

After that, double check your config again, because maybe you may remove some old stuff or add new one.
