That is down to the software you chose at install time, the bits you
selected
only require the first two cd's to install. To go through the other
available
software start yast2 again and on the first screen you will have the
opportunity to add additional programs. the last 2 cd's only contain source
code.

f you are on dial-up use yast2 simple network - modem to add an account then
if you are using KDE as a GUi set up kmail to handle any pop3 accounts.
