I have been trying to install Raspberry Pi OS for desktop, intended to run
on Intel machines, Macs included.  I have a very old GE Industrial computer
with VIA processor.  I don't know too much about it, it shipped with
Windows 7, which was quite a stretch, using about 80% of the available
memory on the m-Sata drive.  Attached is the log file. I have been testing
installation on a flash drive.  Thru key combinations I could briefly see a
login prompt.  I moved the flash drive to a pc and using the
raspberry-config, changed it to boot to a command line instead of the GUI.
By doing this I could get to the log file, which is attached.  Thanks all.

P.S.  I was able to successfully run AntiX on this machine, but I really
prefer the Rpi environment.
