Colemak layout on QWERTY keyboard?

Morning.

I have a T60 with a UK QWERTY keyboard however booting into a live CD session of Linux maps it as a Colemak layout. I've looked in the BIOS and can't see anythig obvious that would cause this. Does anyone have any ideas?

I resolved it by chance. I ran the live CD again, instead of bypassing the keyboard layough I made sure I configured it as GB this time. Now working as expected.

I'm suprised, by default it had chosen Colemak as the default keyboard layout instead of US. Anyway the takeaway is not to skip the keyboard/country setup during installation.
