asterisk users - Feb 2005 - asterisk@home greek letters and suggestions

Great setup for the Asterisk@home .06.

I have a few questions about the console mode. If you go to the Ctrl Alt F9 
area you see asterisk loaded but it's displaying some funny Greek letters. I
did the following but it did not help.

Eliminating some internationalization errors:
In /etc/sysconfig/i18n, the first line reads something like 
LANG="en_US.UTF-8". Change it to read LANG="en_US", and
reboot.

I did this but it did not help.

Next is some request and maybe some help.

1) I would like to see an upgrade path for your product from .5 to .6 and so 
on.  (I don't like having to rebuild the complete server every time).
2) I would like to know of a good way to change the name of the server from 
asterisk1 to something else.  (will this affect the installation).
3) Maybe a built in dyndns.org program for updating the IP address.

Just a few items other then that it's a great product. Thank you for all 
your work on it.
