The act of installing probably caused the machine to start swapping,
leading to huge files in /var/vm. Try this:
% du -sch /var/vm/*
du: `/var/vm/app_profile': Permission denied
64M /var/vm/swapfile0
64M /var/vm/swapfile1
128M /var/vm/swapfile2
256M /var/vm/swapfile3
512M /var/vm/swapfile4
1.0G total
You'll probably have something similar in there. Rebooting will
free up much of this.
After a reboot, try the suggestions from earlier about purging
documentation, localization directories, developer apps, etc.
