His partition layout is a little odd as well (256Mb for /boot, /lib, and /root is way too small IMO).
In this case /usr has its own partition so the bulk of the application binaries and libraries are not a problem. Likely the problem is /lib and /boot, and there is not a lot that you can remove by hand from there. To figure out where all the space is going to, I would run the following in / du -smcx /* |sort -g Personally I think his best bet is to start from scratch, and to use a single a partition for /.
