Do something like:

   # du -x / | sort -rn > /tmp/du.out

and then look at the file.  That'll sort the contents of your root partition
by size so that you can see where you're losing space.

Find the problem first.  If it's something unexpected, fix it.  Otherwise,
write back and we'll go from there.
