Hi Adam,
I'm not sure where you're stuck. If you're trying to reboot to fix your
system, there's the standard routes of a boot disk, rescue floppy, using
your install CD, or even Knoppix.
If you've already booted and freed some space on /usr, I suggest you run
lilo within a chroot environment before you reboot. If it works without
errors, you should be fine. If it doesn't, and you can't / don't know how
to correct the errors, post them, and hopefully someone on this list can
help.
