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
#Funtoo stage3 chroot Installation Script(x64 Core2 build)(2009-Beta)
#Installs from existing x64 distro
#Made by Manwithaplan
#Contact: manwithaplan@comcast.net

# You must have GPARTED installed & an active internet connection
# WARNING!!! Make sure you use the correct drive paths for SWAP, HOME, ROOT Or you'll overwrite your partitions

#Checks if user is root
