bad, bad idea.

Try to find out *why* your root filesystem is running out of space. It
shouldn't.

login to the server as root and run the following commands

cd /
du -x | sort -nr | less

It'll give you a reverse sorted list (biggest to smallest) of the
directories and how big they are. It might take a while.

Here's an example of mine:
225192  .
206406  ./usr
61543   ./usr/lib
38009   ./usr/local
26045   ./usr/bin
22558   ./usr/local/frontpage
22557   ./usr/local/frontpage/version3.0
21949   ./usr/sbin
21833   ./usr/share
14270   ./usr/local/src
12806   ./usr/doc
11939   ./usr/lib/perl5
