Programming Clock Fuses

Digger:
I am not loading the bootloader as I am migrating a couple of projects to permanent homes on Chibiduino boards and don't need it. So it sounds like I will need to manually set the clock fuses.

You don't have to use the bootloader. The first thing you upload via ISP will wipe it out anyway.

The "burn bootloader" command is just an easy way to set the fuses.
