but if you free up the bootloader then how would i use the arduino IDE to program?

@qwerty10, see last paragraph of edit. Arduino IDE supports USBASP ok.

Wouldnt it work with any programmer that can upload code to ATMEGA? Instead of only a USBASP. As I understand it itns not actually using 10 pins but a subset of those pins.

Current Unos use the very compact optiboot bootloader. Removing it will only free 512 bytes.

@qwerty10: There are versions of the USBASP with a 6 pin connector. The 10 pin connector has 4 redundant pins.
