i think you have extra stuff in /srv or /selinux  or /otherdirectories
including stuff in /mnt or /media even if nothing is mounted there

	- move all your well tree stuff in /home/srv/web-stuff

/bin /lib /sbin /etc is NOT the problem

you can symlink /bin and other directories to /someplace-else
but you have to know what you're doing ... ie.. you have to change
all of the startup scripts and take out all the hardcoded paths to /bin
and /etc and /lib etc..etc
	- it'd probably be too much work for most folks

250M for / is 2x more space than you need and is a good config for /
