If you only have just those two file systmes, / and /boot, then chances
are that the log files are big.
1) Check under /var/log
cd /var/log
ls -l
Check what big files you have there.
2) Check for unread email under /var/spool/mail or /var/mail
cd /var/spool/mail
ls -l
remove big email files.
3) Check what directories are using more space with:
cd /
du -sk * | more
It will show you how many KB each directory under / is using.
Then cd to each one and check again with du -sk * to see how much
space the subdirectories are using.
Then, you can isolate the file(s) that are using big space.
Next time, create a separate file system for /var.
