Running out of room on /dev/hda1

[jimbojames5645]

Here are the results of a df -ah call:

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1 243M 219M 11M 95% /
none 0 0 0 - /proc
usbdevfs 0 0 0 - /proc/bus/usb
none 0 0 0 - /dev/pts
/dev/hda6 26G 527M 24G 3% /home
none 251M 0 251M 0% /dev/shm
/dev/hda2 4.8G 1.1G 3.5G 23% /usr
/dev/hda3 4.8G 113M 4.4G 3% /var


I need more room on /dev/hda1 without losing any data anywhere. I don't need much more, but I would like to make it at least 1G. As can be seen I have plenty of space on /dev/hda6. Is there any way to move some free space from /dev/hda6 to /dev/hda1?

Any help is appreciated.

How about do a 'du -sh *' and look at how much is taken up by each directory that's on /. I suggested to a friend once that he move /root to /home/root, and he got about 60MB back on /. Ok, not truly in line with "the way stuff should be" (I believe root should be able to mount and run using only / partition in case of emergency, etc?), but can be an easy interrim fix
