So far as I know, there is no configuration file for PC Omega...

You should make sure you've got nothing else loaded into memory before
running this. E.g. no personalized shells, no resident programs. In
addition, if you set up an incredibly large number of buffers in
your config.sys, this could also use up significant amounts of memory.
