Keep in mind that we have no idea what your partitioning scheme looks
like.  If /var is a seperate partition, then that has no impact on the
amount of space being used on the / partition.

What you need to do is see what space is used by different
subdirectories but omit subdirectories that are their own seperate
partitions.  The following command does this:

[root@fiji ~]# du -x -h --max-depth=1 /
21M     /etc
28K     /mnt
18M     /tmp
8.4M    /root
8.1M    /sbin
161M    /lib
6.0M    /bin
8.0K    /initrd
93M     /opt
4.0K    /.gconfd
3.3M    /tftpboot
32K     /user
40K     /rd
318M    /
[root@fiji ~]# df -h /
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2             1.1G  351M  647M  36% /

Compare the second command to all of the actual partitions I have:
[root@fiji ~]# df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2             1.1G  351M  647M  36% /
/dev/sda1              23M   15M  6.7M  70% /boot
none                  253M     0  253M   0% /dev/shm
/dev/hda1             3.1G  2.7G  423M  87% /home
/dev/sda8             5.3G  4.4G  928M  83% /spare1
/dev/sda6             3.5G  2.9G  378M  89% /usr
/dev/sda7             1.1G  243M  794M  24% /var
/dev/hda6             7.1G  6.6G  500M  94% /work
/dev/hda7             3.9G  3.2G  568M  85% /work/Mandrake/9.0
bikini:/var/mp3       2.0G  697M  1.2G  38% /home/mp3
