You have probably filled up the /tmp directory with some rubbish. Or you may
have some old /kernel.xxx files lying around. The default sysinstall now allocates
100M to the root filesystem.

If you have persistent problems with over filling /tmp, you could create a /usr/tmp
and symlink it to /tmp.

Your apparent df strangeness is due to the fact that there is a variable overhead
within the filesystem for metadata, and that `avail' is therefore only an estimate. 

Hope this helps,
Rich.
