So right now everything is on the / partition?  Then what you want to do is
blow away that huge unused partition and make partitions for atleast /tmp
/var /home.  /usr if you want plus the swap.  You need to size out how much
room each of those dir trees is going to need.  Then take the box offline
and mount the new partitions to /mnt.  e.g. /mnt/var.  Edit /etc/mtab to
mount the new partions at boot.  Then move the old dirs under / to their new
locations.  e.g. mv /var /mnt/var.  Then reboot.  The box shouldn't know the
difference.
