The wget command (previous post) worked out nicely.

This will likely work well too, but I'd prefer to negate the effect:
Remove everything but lo. With the interfaces file's syntax, though,
it would be safest to simply put the lo definition there, regardless
of what's currently in the file.

Going for something like sh -c "echo auto lo > interfaces; echo \
iface ... >> interfaces" could do the trick too.

The newline issue probably stems from not setting the debconf 'escape'
capability when inserting it into the database. Doing so might not
work anyway, since casper doesn't set that capability when populating
the db in the bottom preseed hook.

Anyway, I now have a working configuration and can play around with
that.

Thanks for the help!
