root partition 76% after sarge upgrade





Greetings,
I recently upgraded a system from woody to sarge and the root partition wound up at 76% full. The woody system was at 15% full. Root is about 100MB in size and /var, /tmp, /usr, /home and swap are in separate partitions. Its a standard scientific desktop (not server) task
selected system. Something(s) is hogging space in the root partition, what ?
During the upgrade aptitude failed so I used three variations of apt-get to do most of the
upgrade.
One directory with 25Mb is /lib/modules/2.4.27-2-386 . Another worthy is /etc/gconf with 11MB. Can these two be safely removed ? Where can I find a reference directory tree for root on sarge to compare with ? I have a knoppix CD which would be start but there's probably some features
missing off it.
 Thanks in advance.
