I doubt it.
How big is the partition?

You're using RedHat, right?
I think if you start X as root you'll be able to run their graphical
package manager, which is a bit easier for a novice to navigate than just doing
rpm commands. Look through there and uninstall any package that
seems like something you don't need. (If you need it again later
you can always put it back...). Default installations usually
have tons of stuff and you only use a small percentage of it.
But even a very big installation should be well under 2 GB...
how big is your partition? Do you have more than 1 partition?
What's the biggest top-level directory? e.g.
du -s /home /usr
(that should take a while to run)
