   5           The automounter is a tool to automatically mount remote file systems
   6           on demand. This implementation is partially kernel-based to reduce
   7           overhead in the already-mounted case; this is unlike the BSD
   8           automounter (amd), which is a pure user space daemon.
   9
  10           To use the automounter you need the user-space tools from
  11           <https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/daemons/autofs/>; you also want
  12           to answer Y to "NFS file system support", below.
  13
  14           To compile this support as a module, choose M here: the module will be
  15           called autofs.

  17           If you are not a part of a fairly large, distributed network or
  18           don't have a laptop which needs to dynamically reconfigure to the
  19           local network, you probably do not need an automounter, and can say
  20           N here.
