He he it is the chicken or the egg causality dilemma once again. Unless you have a programmer to load the boot loader program into your atmega8, you will not be able to do anything with your MCU. In your case the boot loader is a small program that enable you to put more code into your MCU flash memory. Without use of any programmer unit. If you are on low budget that do not have any room for programmer. You may see it as a benefit. But unless you can find someone willing to program your MCU with the boot loader. Your MCU will not be able to do any good for you.
