Thanks for all the help. Here's where I'm at:

Filesystem          1K-blocks      Used      Available  Use%   Mounted on
/dev/hda5              505605    221997    257504     47%   /
/dev/hda1              101089     22035       73835    23%    /boot
/dev/hda3            4648896     34632    4378112     1%    /home
none                       61048            0       61048     0%    /dev/shm
/dev/hda2          12697360   4535656   7516696   38%    /usr
/dev/hda6             1027768    850556    125004    88%   /var

Now how do I fix this?

Red Hat Update

Seems to be my issue (space on /var): I can't update Xfree.

Cheers
