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.

Just cvsup'd to stable and I've almost run out of room on /! How big
should
I create it when I reinstall as I now don't have enough to do another
build.
