Turn Arduino into an ISP programmer

Has anyone accomplished this on Mac OS X?

I've got the boards hooked up correctly and the stk500 firmware uploaded correctly to the first Arduino. However when I run the burn command (after the correct (I believe)) modifications I got a constant Device Not Responding type of message.. Actually I think it's Programmer Not Responding.

I don't know if that's because the icsp isn't working or if there is an incompatibility between the stk500 firmware and mac os x?

I would really like to get a atmega168 burned w/ the 168 flavor arduino bootloader... The extra space would be very welcome. However, like I said... it's just not working.

Any insight or anybody being successful at this would be great to hear. It seems clear, but something just isn't meshing.

I've also tried avrdude 5.2 as per a suggestion I found online - as it was supposed to be more compatible w/ os x.. but no dice there either.

Anyway, thanks for any help rendered, I appreciate it.
