Do you know what version is shipped with mandrake?
I used it in version 0.6 (with 2.0.3x) a few years ago. I stopped using
it becasue it caused problems with xplaycd (e.g., sometimes could not eject
cd). Actually, didn't use anything to replace it - only added some noauto
lines to fstab.
I can't see a newer version at metalab, where the 0.6 lsm defined as
the primary site (well, sunsite...).
Maybe mandrake updated it (I guess they had to for 2.2)?
BTW, there is vold (at least on debian) and autofs (in the regular 2.2)
(and the BSD amd, of course, also on debian)
Anyone used any of them? positive or negative comments?
