Yes, and just press return for the questions.

Or you can try make localmodconfig.  This will give you a .config with
only the currently used modules, so many unused config items are
stripped down.

Note that you need to load some dynamically loaded modules (e.g. usb
stuff) before running the localmodconfig.  Otherwise the modules won't
be built for the new kernel.
