LinuxQuestions.org - Funtoo bash install script...

Hi all ... just wanna say that I'm somewhat a novice with bash and just need some pointers. This script isnt complete... but, its at a point where I can run it to certain point to test. I'm writing this to use with friends and myself for semi-automated install. I'm having a problem with line 67 - 79 (ITS IN BOLD). I want it to begin downloading by pressing the (1) key, and if there is any break in the script or problem I want it to exit. The output suggests a syntax error... Just cant find it...

Code:

#!/bin/bash
