Use arduino Clone As ISP

Other Hardware 3rd Party Boards

Hi,
i have built an arduino clone using an atmega8 chip on a breadboard following this tutorial http://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Standalone and it works really well. I have a a few more atmega8 chips and i want to burn the arduino bootloader into that and make more clones( http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/ArduinoISP ).Unfortunately i did not have an ISP programmer to do this nor do i have a UNO . Is there a way i can use this arduino clone as ISP to burn arduino bootloaders onto new atmega8 chips to create more clones? Will this link http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/ArduinoISP work for clones as well?
When you use arduino as ISP does it do the necessary fuse and lock bit settings and make the atmega8 use an external clock because i will be using fresh atmega8s and i dont have a separate programmer to set fuse settings to use external clock.

Hope to get a solution to this problem.Thanks..

Yes, the ArduinoISP sketch should work on your Arduino clone.

If you implemented auto-reset on your Arduino clone you will have to disable it to use the ArduinoISP sketch, otherwise the Burn Bootloader process will reset your Arduino clone and start talking to your bootloader and not the ArduinoISP sketch!

Thank you so much..it worked perfectly ..
