In the past I have added partitons that I mounted in places like /usr
and /opt and /home.  That usually cleared alot of space.  Its a simple
way to go for now.  Just mount the new partition for say /usr under say
/extra.  mv /usr/* /extra.  umount /extra and mount the new partition
as /usr.  Really quite simple...

The other option is to get a bigger HD and just move everything
over....
