not able to install the package

I am working with sun solaris 9 and I want to install some packages but due to less disk space I am not able to install the packages.
I am giving the output of filesystem--

# df -k
Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 2148263 1997593 107705 95% /
/proc 0 0 0 0% /proc
mnttab 0 0 0 0% /etc/mnttab
fd 0 0 0 0% /dev/fd
swap 334456 40 334416 1% /var/run
swap 334752 336 334416 1% /tmp
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s7 36317277 354747 35599358 1% /export/home
/export/home/Emerson 36317277 354747 35599358 1% /home/Emerson

it shows that my root dir is filled up 95%..
due to that I am getting the error

cpio: Cannot write "reloc/share/locale/tr/LC_MESSAGES/gcc.mo", errno 28, No space left on device
297544 blocks

So Is there any way to increase the size of the root??

Please help me Smilie

thanks in Advance.....
