Nope, it should also work without a desktop environment. After some

mounts your CDs and unmounts them after 60s of inactivity (which I
also
reduced to 5s). I think this is closer to what most people want,
and I would
perhaps mention it in the package description as alternative when
a) you are
running Linux (I think autofs is Linux-only) and b) you only want some
removable media automounted.
autofs is not Linux-only - I think it's a Sys V/BSD thing - autofs
came from Sys V and amd from BSD. We use both at work, and are
gradually migrating to am-utils; it's more flexible when it comes to
some of the cleverer things you can do with the mount maps.
I'll ask on the am-utils mailing list whether anyone has any ideas
about getting it to unmount CD's sensibly.
