250MB should be plenty for a / partition without /usr, /var, /tmp and
/home. It's likely most of the space is taken by /lib/modules where
kernel modules are stored. Having only two kernel packages installed
can eat 60 to 80MB:
root@thingy:~# ll /lib/modules
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 1024 2005-01-28 18:27 ./
drwxr-xr-x 12 root root 5120 2005-04-02 16:37 ../
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 1024 2005-02-07 01:16 2.4.27-2-k6/
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 1024 2005-02-07 01:21 2.6.8-2-386/
root@thingy:~# du -sh /lib/modules/*
26M /lib/modules/2.4.27-2-k6
36M /lib/modules/2.6.8-2-386
Try uninstalling any kernel packages other than the one you are
actually booting with.
