Ubuntu 8.10 alpha 4.
Colemak is not in the keymaps list at the livecd main menu (hit F4).
Colemak can be selected from the layouts under language -> english.
To make backspace repeat properly, type:
xset r 66

If you switch to qwerty, it turns the caps toggle back on and breaks
the layout for that session.
Logging out and back in does nothing but turns backspace repeat off again.

Again, the only proper solution to this problem is to remove the
awesome backspace from the colemak layout file and implement it
properly as a caps lock key behavior.  That sounds like a feature, but
would primarily be a bugfix.

At any time, if the layout is colemak, it will be in working condition
with the following two commands:
xmodmap -e "remove lock = Caps_Lock"
xset r 66

It is recommended that until this bug is fixed, those commands be
added to a startup script of some sort as a workaround.
