df -h rtells me that /dev/sda2 is 100% used.
df -i tells me the inodes for that partition are only 15% full.

I've forgotten what I've got in /dev/sda2, but how do I find that out?

I think it may be a corrupt file system, since I attempted the
suggestion of creating a new user and logging on. It refused to do
this, telling me that /tmp was full. This is highly unlikely,
since /tmp is assigned to a temporary file system.

I have the installation disk for this OS, which I hope will let me do
a fsck. Could you walk me through what I should do?
