Boot a rescue/live cd/dvd, manually mount the / file system partition, and manually clean up /tmp and/or other unneeded files so that there is enough space for you to boot. If /var is not on a separate partition, but is directly under /, then you can clean up /var/log log files as well if that is necessary. Then, reboot and do some additional disc scrubbing.
Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.

or if you just weren't paying attention when you did your partitioning, which i've been guilty of in the past, you could also run a gparted disk on it and resize your partitions. but beware, it can be a bit dicey, so i'd recommend you save that as one of your last options.
