several RH 8.0 questions....

I love RedHat 8.0 and have installed it on 2 laptops (updates)
and one desktop (fresh install).  However, it's not without its
glitches.  I have several questions for the list:

1.  Man pages have strange characters in them.  

  After doing an install of 8.0, man (e.g., man man)
  displays the man page with occasional a^ (^ over the a)
  symbols and the "-"s are missing.  Is this a LOCALE issue?
  I do not see this problem on my laptop (RH 7.3 updated to 8.0).

2.   Can't launch up2date.

  On my laptop, while logged in as a user, I tried to launch up2date.
  I got the prompt for the root PW, entered it then nothing happened.
  I tried to launch it from an xterm, logged in as root; up2date seems
  to hang.  From the root login, up2date-nox seemed to hang as well.

3.  RPM hung for all operations until reboot.

  Yesterday on a desktop, I tried loading mozilla 1.1.  The RPM hung.
  I killed it.  I tried doing queries, installs, --rebuilddb, etc.  Each 
program
  hung.  I finally tried the **Windows (C)(R) Microsoft ** solution of
  reboot and upon login, rpm worked fine and I could update Mozilla.

A reply with suggestions/fixes would be most welcomed.
