    /misc

OK, thanks.

However, probably you could:-:)

In a Linux network, enabling /net is very convenient for sharing NFS exports.

/misc is very handy for PnP devices where distributors have broken PnP by imbedding it in the desktop. I often operate by the commandline, popups on the desktop and desktop icons are, at best, useless.

Even if you decide to not use autofs, I suggest you don't remove standard parts such as those two directories, and especially /initrd, should you ever find one;-)
