First-time ubuntu user. Trying to install UBUNTU on a brand new Samsung RV518. Latest version 11.04 from the ubntu site.

I am doing it from an USB Flash (also tried from a CD) and I got the same error message.

So plug in the flash memory into the USB socket. Switch on the laptop. As soon as the laptop starts to read from the Flash memory I got the message:

Error: "prefix" not set

Then i have the dialog window asking me to chose what to do:
instal ubuntu, try ubunty, etc...

I chose to install and then I got a black screen and nothing else. And it freezes. Tried with the other options - still the same black skreen. Apparently the machine reads from the flash memory, as I am given to chose from these options, but it won't go any further...

So can someone tell me what this damn error is and how can i get over it???

Thanks, Pals!!!
