Following the instructions and links on https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads (OpenSUSE) section and it appears the links do not point to the appropriate files on your servers.

Another problem for noobs is the error in instruction missing the "sudo" root user authority - easy to correct this one as terminal gives the correct advice. ("instruction to run zypper refresh")
I cannot find any advice on how the following can be implemented "Users of openSUSE can add the openSUSE repo file to /etc/zypp/repos.d/." How is this done and where? This needs more instruction please.
