Please keep in mind: never use Discover or dnfdragora to upgrade Rolling or Cooker since the command they use is only appropriate for Rock systems.
To perform full update after installation, open terminal and type:
sudo dnf clean all;dnf clean all;dnf repolist
sudo dnf --allowerasing distro-sync
For a much better GUI package manager use DnfDrake

Please note:
The ’Update channel’ set to Rolling. That means these ISOs use Rolling repositories for whatever period of time you test them.
Repositories should never be mixed.
To enable/disable additional repositories we have OpenMandriva own tool Software Repository Selector (om-repo-picker).
