Never mind. Got my answer from
Novell's website. My "other thought" was indeed correct.
There's tons more software on the 2 DVD's than on the 5 CD's. The
Novell web page even lists *exactly* which packages the CD's don't contain.
I don't have a DVD drive on the Suse
Linux 9.2 laptop, but I was able to read the Inkscape .rpm file on my Windows
laptop which *does* have a DVD drive. Then I ftp'd the file to my
Linux laptop and did an install from a local directory.

Missing Inkscape from Suse
Linux 9.2
Hi All:
Recently, I installed Suse Linux Pro
9.2 on an HP laptop. The box the software came in prominently lists,
as an included program, Inkscape, the open-source vector graphics editor.
The mystery is that I can find no reference to Inkscape anywhere
in the system, not even in Yast when searching in the "Install and
Remove Software" dialog. Now perhaps I messed up and didn't
choose Inkscape during the initial install, but shouldn't Yast still list
Inkscape as a "Not Installed" package?
My other thought is that perhaps Inkscape
is included when you install from the 2 DVD's, but somehow Novell messed
up and didn't include it on the 5 CD's.
