I did some more investigation. After a cd to the BUILD directory, I ran 'make xconfig' and set the 3 items that I need. isa, isapnp and ne2000 support.
From the SPEC directory I ran 'rpmbuild -bc --short-circuit kernel-2.6.spec'. After about 4 minutes I looked at the contents of the .config file in the BUILD directory.
ALL 3 ITEMS I had selected had been DELETED.
I also noticed that rpmbuild -bc runs 'make mrproper'. From my 2.4.x days, I seem to remember that mrproper restores everything to original content. Is my memory correct?
Right, you don't want make mrproper at that step. If the --short-circuit flag is not working as it is supposed to, stick to the original method of going through steps 5 through 7. It is known to work.
