[Techtalk] Query or List Kernel Options?

Does anyone know of a way to determine the options selected on an 
already-compiled and -installed kernel? I'm getting ready to try some 
traffic shaping and bandwidth management on a Fedora Core 3 machine, and 
I'd like to find out if options like CONFIG_NET_SCHED, CONFIG_NET_QOS, and 
so on are already enabled, or if I'm going to need to recompile.

I've already tried "apropos kernel" and a variety of Google searches. (Most 
of those told me lots about how to compile a kernel, but nothing about how 
to find out what options the kernel was compiled with once I'm done.)

Thanks in advance for any assistance anyone can provide.
