     1.4 +The automounter is a tool to automatically mount remote file systems on demand.
     1.5 +This implementation is partially kernel-based to reduce overhead in the
     1.6 +already-mounted case; this is unlike the BSD automounter (amd), which is a pure
     1.7 +user space daemon.
     1.8 +
     1.9 +To use the automounter you need the user-space tools from
    1.10 +<ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/daemons/autofs/v4/>.
    1.11 +
    1.12 +If you are not a part of a fairly large, distributed network or don't have a
    1.13 +laptop which needs to dynamically reconfigure to the local network, you
    1.14 +probably do not need an automounter.
