the same way. First, see if they compiled kernel config support (zless
/proc/config.gz if it's there)... if that fails, I'm sure you could find
out somehow through the package maintainers, or more likely, through
lists or something. Given that (I assume) you're using Debian, I'm sure
it's all public record somewhere... just an issue of finding it. Someone
more familiar with the distro might have a better idea.

Not sure how debian does it, but for Mandrake, if you urpmi kernel-2.6
(for example) you do get /proc/config.gz, and also if you urpmi
kernel-source-2.6 you'll get the .config that was used for the precompiled
kernel.
