Clearly there's something I'm missing -- and I think it's first that I'm on different media. I have a Leap 15.2 installer image thumb drive I'm using for boot, except that from the menu instead of choosing installation I choose "Rescue system" and land at a happy

No. Download and install to an USB stick the image I linked above. You may be able to download the one for 15.2 from some mirrors if you prefer that one. Then boot it on the faulty computer. You get a full graphical desktop (XFCE), where you can write files, even install things, and of course, have internet and open firefox -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.3 (Legolas))
