Depending on what you mean by automounting, it can be either HAL or
automount. You probably want automount - it lets ou set up mount
points that will mount a file system when you go to access them. For
example, if you have a bunch of CD/DVD images that you want to be
able to access, but you do not want to tie up that many loopback
mounts all the time, you can set up automount to loop mount the
image when you go to access it. You can do the same things with hard
drive partitions, Samba shares, NFS mounts, etc.
