You need /root to be on / for when you login under single-user mode
You just don't want things writing to /root, this typically means don't run them as root

OK.  I'll keep that in mind.  The files which were in /root were related to 
installing MySQL and
PHP and also the data imports (.tar.gz) from the other server.  These added up 
to about 700M which
is a significant percentage of 3G.  The installation didn't have much of a 
margin and we crossed
it.

/var/tmp is the best place to DL things to, even if you are root
