delete some stuff? :-) Use df to see how much space is used on / (df -h
may be handy). If it is overly full go into the / directory and type du
-ks <dirname> to see how big each directory is. When you find overly large
directories cd into them and repeat the process till you discover what it
is thats taking up all the space. I'd start by looking at /tmp.
