It's not a "move". It has been like this since at least 9.0, maybe even
8.2 (there was a large outcry about abiword being missing for 9.0 I think).

The tutorials that are now necessary because the documentation is
missing ? ;-)

Of course:
$ du -sh 9.1/i586/
2.3G    9.1/i586

(so, unless you have a way to get 2.3GB into 3 CDs ....)

9.2 will only be worse (more packages moved into main).

They are all in ProSuite, and I think all on the workstation DVD, I'm
not sure about Powerpack.
