The question "make oldconfig? [n]" is quite strange, there should be some
explanation before this question.
I am always confused when I answer it.
It should be probably "make oldconfig ? [y]", because if I only press Enter it
start to process oldconfig, linux spell probably needs some improvements.

For example I would gladly accept the possibility to choose default vanilla
config, mainly after new smgl installation.
I wrote a bug for install iso http://bugs.sourcemage.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6411
but
it should be probably improvement of linux spell.
