Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

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

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.
