Howdy folks,
I find myself in a position where I have some IBM pseries servers at 
hand, and of course my first instinct is to install Gentoo :)

I've tried following the handbook[1] but I fail at the media step, as 
there is no ppc64 download, just /mirror/gentoo/releases/ppc
inside there in 2007 and 2008 I can find "universal" iso and they do 
work but these are too old to install from (EAPI blockers / kernel too 
old for chroot with newer stage3 etc etc)

in /mirror/gentoo/releases/ppc/autobuilds/current-iso   there is a 
minimal iso which has no ppc64 and i can't get yaboot to boot.
i've used the 2007 and 2008 ppc64 and they seem to boot fine, just a bit 
old is all.

can anyone point me in the direction of an 
"install-ppc64-minimal-20141204.iso" or hopefully something newer?
my google-fu is letting me down!

thanks in advance!
