I think that is the wrong solution. Personally, I'd do a reinstall in
your position. I'd backup home AND any configuration files you have
changed. Then I'd do a reinstall and ensure that *THIS* time the /
directory has a few G.
I "personally" just use the whole disk most of the time:
root@tal:~# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda5 36G 34G 182M 100% /
udev 10M 0 10M 0% /dev
tmpfs 50M 332K 50M 1% /run
tmpfs 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock
tmpfs 293M 0 293M 0% /run/shm
As you can see I have a bit of juggling to do now and then anyway, but
this is just my laptop. I reckon I'd have more problems if I'd set up a
partioning scheme.
Of course, your usage and requirements may be different. If it is just a
basic home desktop, I wouldn't worry.
But blocking kernel updates is the wrong way to go, IMNSHO.

There are ways, but why compromise on security?
