If its just full, then deleting files you don't need or can easily 
replace till you are below 100% will get things working again. 
However, if something is actively filling the partition, then you 
need to find it and kill it first.  Otherwise it will just fill up 
whatever space you clear out leaving you back where you started.  Try 
checking /var/log/messages to see if anything is reporting the disk 
full.  You should be able to identify any active process trying to 
fill the disk that way.
