telnet (ssh) into your RaQ and run "df"
study the output, does it look like it's really full?
Or has active monitor gone crazy?
If it is (really full) you have no choice but to get rid of 
or move some files.
do an ls /tmp, if there are files in there delete them.

Are there some partitions that have space available?
If so you may be able to move some of the files from
a full partition to one that has some space on it.

Look for any *.tar, *.gz, *.rpm files you might have hanging around,
get rid of them, also you may have some junk left over from
an install, get rid of the junk.
Hope this helps,
Gerald
