Oops, I thought we had fixed that... Anyways: the easiest solution is to open
first-setup.sh in an editor. line 28 has
ppc) platform="linux-ppc" ;;
you can either change that to
ppc64) platform="linux-ppc" ;;
or add such a new line after it. The minimals should work on your system (they
do work on my ppc64 box).
Good luck
