Scott, here is an excerpt from the System Administrators Guide.

 /proc/kcore  
     An image of the physical memory of the system. This is exactly the
same size        as your physical memory, but does not really take up
that much memory; it is
     generated on the fly as programs access it. (Remember: unless you
copy it           elsewhere, nothing under /proc  takes up any disk
space at all.) 

At least we know you have 64M of ram:-)

To clear up some room on your root partition you could copy a directory
that occupies a heap of space (not /proc) to another partition and put a
symbolic link to it.

My home directory is actually /home -> /usr/home for the same reason.
When I get another drive I will assign a partition to /home

An example to do this would be:
cp -rdf /home /usr      # -rdf means recursive, no de-reference and
force
rm -rf /home            # free up that root space. -rf is recursive and
force 
ln -s /usr/home /home   # looks like home is still on the root
directory.

Of course there are man pages on all these commands.

Hopefully this will.
