Arduino to upload a hex file to another device?

I've been trying to find info via Google.... And failing!

Can I use an Arduino to upload a hex file to another device?

I found this programmer kit on FeeBay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200515780676

It does not include the AVR but does include the hex file via eMail. I have an ATmega8 that will work with it.

Now the problem. How do I get the hex file onto the device? I have an Arduino clone and AVRdude installed on my my Mac.

Links to relevant reading welcome.

you will need to upload the arduinoisp sketch onto a arduino (dont know if the mega 8 will work for this) then you can use avr dude as if it was connected to an avrisp programmer

Excellent! That is exactly what I was looking for.

Thank you.
