I don't think so.

If you want to repair stuff on your SUSe and can't get in, Knopix could
do the deal. I personaly don't think SUSE or Knopix are tools I would use
to have with me. I rather walk around with http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/

It has knopix based distro plus a ton more.

My feeling is that SUSE is a distro to be used and not a repair tool.
Others do that much better, like UBCD.
