Ok so stupid me just tried to install KDE without looking at the space requirements :) now im out of space on /usr so does anyone no how to repartition it so that I can get some space from the /home partition? Or does anyone no a good site to give me some help?
 
Basically you will need to backup at least your problem filesystems (orr whole system , unmount them and remake in expected sizes (could be a single mode or boot from install media if it sys fs is busy)

i usually use move /home to /usr/home and then
ln -s /usr/home /home

and /var/tmp and usr/tmp linked to /tmp to get common places for most disk space problems
