Well, one thing you could do is mount your /dev/hda4 to /mnt/target, mkdir
/mnt/target/usr and copy everything from /usr to /mnt/target/usr, same for
/etc /tmp /sbin /bin /var etc.. and use that as your new root partition
(probably should update lilo as well.. :) -or- just do ONE of the
directories (probably /usr, maybe /home..) and then mount /dev/hda4 to /usr
(or /home..) and setup your /etc/fstab to remount it there at boot.

This is certainly tempting... :)
