problem porting new bootloader with avrdude

woohoo is right! considering how much time ive already spent watching that progress bar this will eventually save me hundreds of hours. literally. mucho thanks bill. and thanks other-bill for helping with many other problems. this is a great site.

i have a quick question. why is new conf needed? ive got many custom entries in my current conf file. i notice standard old conf also gives some "id-type" error. do i have to go in there and change entries for other processor? will any conf files downloaded from other sites need to be modified too?
