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 :-(
