I am running FC2 and I have been keeping my updates current. Recently, I ran

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.
Most of the contents of a kernel RPM are in /lib/modules/.
$ rpm -ql kernel-2.6.10-1.770_FC3 | grep /lib/modules | wc -l
8381
$ du -ks /lib/modules/2.6.10-1.770_FC3
104880 /lib/modules/2.6.10-1.770_FC3
$ rpm -ql kernel-2.6.10-1.770_FC3 | grep -v /lib/modules | wc -l
3
$ du -ks /boot/*-2.6.10-1.770_FC3
56 /boot/config-2.6.10-1.770_FC3
722 /boot/System.map-2.6.10-1.770_FC3
1437 /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.10-1.770_FC3
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.
Good suggestion, but I think he did that already, with some success.
