hi i was trying to learn this whole thing…and umm what does uncommenting the line mean ? does that mean delete it ?

No, it means *activating* it, by removing the # in the begining of the line. Just delete the “#”.

First, start MySQL in a terminal window with the following command: sudo /usr/local/mysql/bin/safe_mysql

This means: open Terminal (/Applications/Terminal.app) and in the terminal window that appears, write this command. It will ask for the administrator password. Enter it, and you’re done.

Instead of manually starting MySQL between reboots, use launchd, as outlined here:

As part of the Darwin source, Apple has made a Leopard compatible MySQL available. I assume it is the version they are including with the server version. Sources are available here:
