I'm seeing the same problems on Fedora 6+7. I don't think there is a real solution (btw: using a German keyboard layout, shift+6 gives me "/" in the graphical vnc console).
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
possible.
Yes, this seems the only workable solution. Unfortunately, you are also restricted to the "-"-less strings when you install it :-(
