	Did you by chance install Linux compatibility (or any other for that 
matter).This will install all the Linux lib stuff into /compat, and 
will *very* quickly hose a 32Mb root partition, I've been there. 

	The way round it is to create a compat directory in /usr and symlink 
it to /compat, and *then* install the packages. With a 31Mb root, 
this is also a good time to symlink /tmp to /usr/tmp, as I've run out 
of unpacking space on small root partitions occasionally while 
unpacking space hungry things like Perl, Emacs et al.
