Without actually knowing what you did to full up / I recommend two
things:

1. clean out /root if you're using it and don't use it again for
anything but the bare minimum. it's not meant for that.
2. uninstall any kernels you do not use and do not plan to use.

Even on my desktop system / only ever filled upto around 30meg. I roll
my own kernels so if you use the denian ones add another 40meg of
modules for each kernel you deem necessary. Generally, kernel-wise, 2
ought to do. Your current kernel and last known stable. When upgrading
you'll get a 3rd for a short while so leave enough room for that (say
50meg to be sure).

250M root partition is more then ample. You're definately doing
something wrong so the best fix is behaviour modification. :)

Good move in splitting these out IMO. Sizes are good (caveat: I don't
know what you really use this box for but in general, they're good :).
