While running the command make oldconfig, I am getting many prompts like in the following image, since ig many variables are not set.

I am completely new to this, and am not sure what set for those variables and also how do I manage so many variables to set.

leam

make olddefconfig

Note the def in there; it assumes the defaults for any new config options that aren't in your older config. I hit this too, but I used to do this a lot.
