Yes, you are right. It was the /etc/hosts file. The installation went smoothly after removing lots of entries from there. Most of the entries of my /etc/hosts file actually come from http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm - it basically blackholes unwanted sites. Is there any way I can get around the upgrade issue without having to remove entries from my /etc/hosts file? Thanks.
