I am running FC2 and I have been keeping my updates current. Recently, I ran
out of space on / and I can no longer do any updates. I have checked
/var/log files, etc and everything appears to be in order. Here is a df of
my system
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hdb2 4031560 3764916 61844 99% /

What should I do?

Syl,
Sorry I'm late... but there's one point that hasn't been touched here.
If you just keeping updating, you probably have a large number of
kernels installed that you don't use or need. Each kernel occupies a
large space. To get a list of the installed kernels, do
rpm -q kernel
rpm -q kernel-smp
Deleting old kernels & related files won't help the OP since the
kernels aren't on the / partition.
From the original email, a separate /boot partition is shown in the df output.
I would suggest you take a look at the contents of your /var
directory. I recall that yum stores header files & rpms somewhere
under there. Deleting old rpm files should free up space on the /
partition.
"yum clean all" will delete all of the cruft yum leaves behind in
/var/cache/yum.
