modifying the config of kernel in N800

[kmkj]

I am trying to modify the kernel configurations. I have followed the Maemo website directions: first I ran make n800_defconfig, then I edited the .config file by vi .config, and then I ran make oldconfig. After that make zImage. But the new configurations are not taking effect. Specifically, immediately after I run make oldconfig, if I open the .config file, I see that it has reverted back to what it was. My changes aren't getting saved. Can you help me?
THanks

I'd recommend using "make menuconfig". You'll have to modify one of the files to get it to work, as it won't properly link in ncurses. Do a Google search for N800 menuconfig, and I believe the first item is what you're looking for.
