What is the best way to separate /usr from the "/" (root) filesystem?

Right now /usr is included in the / filesystem, and /usr seems to be a good chunk of space.

drive1->30gb
drive2->40gb

Below is the df -k output

/dev/hda2 10078852 7319220 2247644 77% /

(1)
Using cfdisk or some other tool, split hdb1 or hdb2 into required partitions.
(2)
Mount the new partition as /usrnew - say
(3)
Using `find` all in /usr, piped to `dd`, copy all /usr to /usrnew.
(4)
Change the mount point of /usrnew to /usr.
(5)
Rename /usr (under hda2) as /usrold - say.
(5)
Reboot the system to be sure (or umount and remount).
(6)
After a reasonably safe period, remove /usrold.

I expect that the whole thing can be achieved by your favourite GUI tool.
