At the lilo boot screen, press the Escape or Esc key.  It will display some 
options for you to choose.  Assuming that your normal choice is "linux", 
type:

linux init 3

That will get you to a command prompt and allow you to do some cleaning up.  
Log in as root and start by looking in /tmp.  Anything there can be safely 
deleted unless you have purposely saved something there.

Type:

df

to see which file system(s) are full.

The following command may also be useful in tracking down larger files:

du -s *

This will show you the disk usage of the directories under your current 
directory.  e.g.

cd /home
du -s *
