BTW: The fact that nearly nobody noticed this yet shows that SUSE chose the least important packages to be FTP-only ;-))
Most likely because the DVD9 was not yet publicly available. Or am I missing something?
No, you didn't miss anything. I don't have any DVD9 of 10.1 yet (but it was available SUSE-internally AFAIK). I asked AJ to send me the INDEX.gz of different media (including DVD9) to be able to do some comparison. The result was a small script to automate the comparison ;-) and 4 bugreports (two of them already fixed, the two below are still open/unclear). BTW: There were some FTP-only packages in 10.0 already, but the list was shorter - http://suse-linux-faq.koehntopp.de/q/q-suse100-ftponly.html (headlines in german, but the package list should be understandable for everybody ;-)
Most of them should be available in "Extra" also - see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=166946 and https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=166949 for details.
If they are on the Extra (or CD6) they should be on DVD9 and DVD5 as well.
In general, yes - but note that not all packages in Extra are on CD6 and therefore probably not on DVD5 also. OTOH, some packages are on CD6, but not in Extra...
