dumping kernel config - find what has been built in a kernel

Is there a way of dumping the kernel configuration on linux?

Obviously lsmod will give me what modules are loaded, but how would I get things that have been built into the kernel? Is this possible?

On arch this seems very easy '/proc/config.gz' has it all but on ubuntu it's in /boot. However my config in /boot is wrong all i have is a kernel. Is there a way of retrieving the config?

So.. you want to know how to get the config for the Ubuntu kernel? Why don't you ask in the Ubuntu forum?

zcat /proc/config.gz > kernel.config

Also, there is zgrep and zless for gzipped files.

This. I'm not sure there IS a way, but they'd know better.
