zimbra installs in /opt/zimbra. is your / partition really only 250mb? that's barely enough room for the download. if you want to be tricky you could try this:

$ su - root
# cd /home
# mkdir zimbra
# cd /opt
# ln -s /opt/zimbra ./zimbra

[schemers]

those commands don't look right. You want to link /opt/zimbra to /home/zimbra:

$ su - root
# cd /home
# mkdir zimbra
# cd /opt
# rm -rf zimbra (if needed)
# ln -s /home/zimbra ./zimbra
