You'd be even less impressed if the rescue system failed to load altogether, because all the bahoo included in it bombs out your RAM. Unlike other rescue systems, the SUSE one is loaded completely into RAM, freeing your CD drive. Rescue systems are intended more for those who know how to run them, man pages are not high on the list there, and can always be looked up on the spare computer. But if you prefer the full GUI thing together with all the rest of the shebang, audiovisually enhanced by an "initiating startup sequence" in trekker voice, all instead of getting the job done, then you know where to look. Or use the SUSE live distro. There is room for both kinds of those live systems, and I keep both at hand to select the right one for the job, though I can't recall any occasion where I actually needed the GUI and AV for a fix-up job.
