The only way you would be seeing "[17:10] * Please make sure you edit your config file completely. " is from not following the advice below.
Code:
# You MUST remove this line for your bot to start. This has been added to
# prevent you from starting up a bot that is not fully configured. Bots
# that have not been fully configured may join the wrong IRC network, the
# wrong channels, or generally do things that you do not want. Please make
# sure that you have double-checked every setting. There's also a similar line
# lower down, just to make sure you're reading :)
die "Please make sure you edit your config file completely."
Code:
# Comment out this next line. Otherwise, your bot won't start.
die "You didn't edit your config file completely like you were told, did you?"
These are here to keep you from trying to run a malconfigured bot and throwing it onto an active irc network. This could cause havoc. So to prevent this, in 2 or 3 spots there are some DIE commands sprinkled. Simply #comment them making them harmless and make sure you are reading/editing your config _COMPLETELY_ otherwise we can't help you if you can't even help yourself.

I think the easiest way for you to do this (apart from searching on sites to learn about eggdrop conf files) Is login to your shell via ftp, (in your ftp tool/ options depending on your shell provider, protocol might be SFTP) and download to your box the 'bots.conf' file.
You find this file in your bot's root directory.
For example: /home/yourname/botsname/bots.conf

Open that with wordpad and start reading. You'll learn a lot just from that one file Very Happy Further more in that file it will tell you which lines to remove.

Btw, if a line is preceded with: #
It's called 'commented'. This means that the program won't read whats on that line. Its generally instructions for the user or various optional commands.

So to 'uncomment' a line is simply to remove the preceding: #

It's also good to have a look around via FTP- get to know the paths and whats on there.
