Starting a new thread would be a start.:) Otherwise, you create a new
partition and mount it as the directory which takes the most space.
/usr is usually the biggest space eater. Mount the new partition as /usr and
move all the files into it. Obviously you mount the new partition somewhere
else, like under /mnt to move the data over, or you won't be able to recover
the space.
