I would start with a 'du -hxs *' in / and then work your way down to the
large directories. Since you haven't installed anything it most likely
is in /var where logs and spool files etc. are kept. If you have
multiple partitions for you Linux setup you can also use 'df -h' to see
the stats of each partition.
