Hi

I'm a newcomer to FreeBSD. My working conf is as follows. 
. a DX2 66 M
. 8M RAM
. VGA monitor + Trident 9000 comp. video card
. IDE HD
. 2.1 release

Now, for some man pages, e.g. fdisk, vmstat, 

man fdisk

would give a cleared screen, with the prompt on top, although the
man page gzipped file is in the correct path, thus I have to manually
unzip the man page somewhere and then view it.
Does this indicate any serious trouble? 

Thanks in advance

Best regards
Haytham
