Ok, I will do so, thanks Jose Daniel Secareanu wrote:
No, no, no, no.... Don't touch any of the system directories (/usr is for programs, binaries, etc...)... At most you can do as I said, create the new partition and mount it as /home, this is the safest way to do it... As I said before, backup original /home to /var/smth or /smth and after that mount the new /home....

Well, I have only one partition as / partition. There I have everything. What a did is from a windows partition create a new partition for linux. But obviously when I mount it as /usr nothing works because there is nothing saved there, so I don't know how to copy all the /usr files to this new partition and mount it as /usr.
thanks

Well... you can at most free up some space on the hdd and create a new partition... I am not sure if you could actually increase the size of your / partition, but you could, for example, backup your /home partition (if you have one) and then delete it and recreate it with the new size (this also means the space on the hdd should be next to the /home partition, or else you will have to move partitions around the hdd)... In any case :) is not simple... Good luck!
