See here:
http://www.oreillynet.com/linux/blog/2007/04/repartitioning_on_the_fly_and.html

for a discussion of repartitioning without reinstalling.  It can be done
(using parted) but it depends on your disk space/arrangements.

Looking at that, you could do the first suggestion there (rather than
the workaround I actually used).  You might need to do a bit more
juggling around, depending on how much you actually want to move around.

As others have said, this may not actually be your problem, but that's a
fairly small space you have there on / so repartitioning may be a good
bet anyway!
