Perhaps you have installed more software, perhaps log files have filled up
in /var, perhaps temporary files have accumulated in /tmp - look around
and find out ;-)

30 MB is quite small, comparitively speaking. I've had a system installed
in under 30 megs, but there was nothing of interest to me on it ;-) My
average disk space usage now is around 300 megs, and I have another 400
megs or so waiting to be used, on my /. Of course, it depends what you do
on your system - if all you do is use it basically as a terminal, 30M
should be enough.
Hope this helps,
