Yep, it is: -F. Usually you might also want to add -u then (disable safemode -- there's no fuse to save and recover anyway). This should probably also be accessible from the command-line without a connection to the target, but while the first part might not be too difficult, I think it's not that easy to get AVRDUDE to not try connecting to a target rather early in the game. It's a bit worse on the JTAG ICE (and maybe also the AVRISP) as they need to see proper target power at least, even with -F. -- cheers, J"org .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .
