Colemak console on RHEL/CentOS 5

hi,

it is quite straightforward, but i have not seen it around here...

download UNIX package from http://colemak.com/Unix and install it into the system

# wget http://colemak.com/pub/unix/colemak-1.0.tar.gz
# tar xzf colemak-1.0.tar.gz
# cp colemak-1.0/linux_console/colemak.iso15.kmap /lib/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/colemak.map
# gzip /lib/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/colemak.map

setup colemak as default keyboard layout

# sed -i 's/^KEYTABLE="[^"]*"/KEYTABLE="colemak"/' /etc/sysconfig/keyboard

oh, and i had to reboot. that's it.

enjoy!
