+        tristate "Kernel automounter support"
+        help
+          The automounter is a tool to automatically mount remote file systems
+          on demand. This implementation is partially kernel-based to reduce
+          overhead in the already-mounted case; this is unlike the BSD
+          automounter (amd), which is a pure user space daemon.
+
+          To use the automounter you need the user-space tools from the autofs
+          package; you can find the location in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
+          You also want to answer Y to "NFS file system support", below.
+
+          If you want to use the newer version of the automounter with more
+          features, say N here and say Y to "Kernel automounter v4 support",
+          below.
+
+          To compile this support as a module, choose M here: the module will be
+          called autofs.
+
+          If you are not a part of a fairly large, distributed network, you
+          probably do not need an automounter, and can say N here.
