building from kernel source rpm

Hi Bruno, Alan,

The rpmbuild interface does not provide the user a way
to go through the entire config options before proceeding
to build the kernel. If it does, I would really like to know
how it's done.

The current rpmbuild of the kernel builds bazillions of
drivers, most of which are very likely not needed by
the user's platform. This leads to an extremely time
consuming default build, and in my case, I have only
one machine which is a unicore.

Other problems are features that a user might neither
want nor need.

Is there a way to propagate this issue to development leads?

Thanx.
