No /etc/auto.master or misc

Hi,
My OS is fedora 10 and i tried to do some experiment in auto mounting but there is no /etc/auto.master or misc ,so i try to install autofs by

Code:

yum install autofs*

Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit

Setting up Install Process

No package autofs* available.

Nothing to do

and i checked the service is in start or stop like

Code:

service autofs status

autofs: unrecognized service

so i figured that autofs was not installed in my pc ,but i wonder is it not default one and onemore thing when i insert a cd or USB i get it by auotmounted:scratch:

Guys i need some help here

Try looking for automount, but I'd expect it to be part of the default install TBH..

Can't this be achieved by modifying your /etc/fstab

I don't any entry for either my cdrom or usb in my /etc/fstab
so can you explain little further

That looks like the one

autofs-5.0.3-30.i386

BTW, I believe they've stopped updating F10 now F12 is out, or they soon will. They only support 2 releases (eg F11, F12) at a time.

Guys pls help me , i need this :banghead:

I believe (and you should ask on the Fedora forum) that 'recent' repos are often available, but you may need to tweak your repo cfg.
You can prob find out from Fedora's site and/or google.

Here is the contents of my /etc/fstab. All my drives auto mount when I connect them.
