Well  /usr/src contains kernels. get rid of all but the latest sources you
are using. 


Here's a little helper commnad to find large files that may or maynot be
discard eligible:

find ./ -size +100000  -exec ls -lag {} \; | less       <lists large files>


Here's another trick to find old files that may or maynot be discard eligile:

find ./ -mtime +180 -exec ls -lag {} \; | less


Depending on your setup, files in /usr/tmp may also be 'discard eligible.


hth,
