AFAIK you can use a config file that you already got and apply it to the
new kernel.When you do 'make menuconfig' there is a option all the way
down to load an alternate configuration file. But I doubt that a file
from 2.4.17 will give you a valid configuration for 2.4.19 - there are
other options for 2.4.19 You'll have to try what you get out of it.

Prost,
