Ok, I ran df -h and got:

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda5 372M 109M 244M 31% /
/dev/hda1 45M 11M 32M 24% /boot
/dev/hda3 4.7G 33M 4.4G 1% /home
none 61M 0 61M 0% /dev/shm
/dev/hda2 13G 1.1G 11G 9% /usr
/dev/hda6 251M 235M 3.6M 99% /var

Does this look normal? I did not set this up with partitions and so now I am wondering if I did something wrong on the install. This was installed directly from RH 7.2 disks. Shouldn't there just be hda1 only?

Is a hda a partition?
No, /dev/hda is the first drive on the first IDE controller.
/dev/hda[1..N] designates each partition on the /dev/hda device.

I was recently told my program is on hda6 and it is out of space. (This
shouldn't be the case as the program doesn't take up much space)
"df -h" will show your mounted partitions, and how much free space is on
each.

If these are just blank partitions can I eliminate the other hda's and
make one big one from the command line?
You can't really merge partitions. Well, you *can*, but it isn't trivial,
and will usually hose your data.

Your best bet is to backup your data, reinstall using the custom
partitioning option, and create the entire drive as the root partition
(with a 20GB /boot, if you aren't using grub).
