Thanks for confirmation. Yeah, I can get "/" this way, but I can't get "-" and
"*" which means I can't add any options to command lines or do wildcards. It's
pretty useless this way. You can't even handle filenames with a "-" in them. I
work around this by using single "?" in filenames as I can create at least
this.
On the other hand if I switch to US keyboard layout I can get at * and - and
?, but not at /. Grrrrr.
I use SSH for virtual console management as much as

Yes, this seems the only workable solution. Unfortunately, you are also
restricted to the "-"-less strings when you install it :-(
