David, Old kernel and modules may be filling your /. You can safely delete /kernel.old and /modules.old. You can also safely clean out /tmp which technically should be cleaned during reboots. Also if you store anything in root's home directory, /root, it would be taking space in /. The defaults for auto disk labeling pick 100MB for / and 20MB for /var even on modern 10 and 20GB hard drives. You may be better off straying from the defaults and being generous if you have a large disk. For example I generally choose 1GB /, 1GB swap, 3GB /var, and the rest to /usr. This ought to be plenty for tracking -STABLE, running a mail server, running a MySQL server, and just about any other application IMHO.
