It all depends what you have installed.
What might be simpler is to swap your /tmp and / partitions:
reboot into single user mode
unmount all filesystems except /tmp
rm -rf /tmp/*
cp -a /[A-Z0-9a-su-z]* /tmp
cp -a /t* /tmp except for /tmp itself
mkdir /tmp/tmp
chmod a+trwx /tmp/tmp
vi /tmp/etc/fstab and swap the devices for / and /tmp
either (if you boot with grub)
vi /boot/grub/menu.lst and change the root partition in
both (hd0,n) and the root specification to the kernel,
or (if you use lilo)
vi /etc/lilo.conf and change the root partition and then
(very important) run lilo to rewrite the boot sector
reboot (note that the boot clearance of /tmp will now delete
all your old root partition files, so it is vital to make sure
that everything in /tmp is correct before you do this)
You should now have your root partition in a 449M partition and your
other problem will have gone away. Of course, if you get it wrong you
could have wrecked your system...
