Well, you aren't too far into configuring the system, you could reinstall. Somewhere in the partitioning it must give you control over what size partition to create. Instead of trying to login at the graphical login, try Ctrl-Alt-F2 to get you to a terminal window and log in there. If this works, run df -h to see if the partitions are full.
