Submount

Submount is a loadable kernel module that allows automatic mounting/unmounting of removable media (mostly CD-ROM and floppy drives) without manual intervention from the user.

Unlike supermount, submount does not require kernel patching and recompiling, and is therefore much easier to install. All what is needed are kernel sources, a few minutes to compile and install the module and the submountd daemon (both with the common "./configure", "make" and "make install" procedure), and another few minutes to appropriately modify the /etc/fstab entries.
