Thanks. Using -h as well I get:-

4.0K    /mnt
16K     /lost+found
136M    /opt
9.7M    /bin
3.5M    /lib32
51M     /root
16K     /media
4.0K    /lib64
4.0K    /srv
12M     /sbin
93M     /boot
78M     /etc
705M    /lib
8.0K    /mount
1.1G    /

So it seems there is plenty of space (nearly 3G). Yet df is reporting 100%
is used.
