/usr on my 7.3 box is 4.7gb so you likely need some serious
reorganizing to work this out.
Some things you can remove (if they are installed) to reclaim some room
to work are (and you can always add them back when you have more room) -
emacs - 31mb
emacs-el - 28mb
kernel-source - 121mb
php-manual - 108mb
tetex* - 75mb
These sizes[1] are based on 7.3 so they could be much bigger for 8.0.
You can also remove anything that -devel to free up some space. You
have a lot of room on /var so you could move some things there, like
/usr/X11R6, and symlink it back under /usr.
Just do enough to get the system running them get a bigger HD to
replace the current one. You can move the stuff from the old to the new
and then have the old one for extra space.

[1] I have a little script that I use to get the sizes of all the rpms
installed on my system that I got back in the RH 2.x days than has come
in handy for situations like this. It's attached for those who might
like to see it. It's quite small.
