I still think the problem is with /usr. adityavpratap only had 2.8 GB as / -- and /user was contained inside that partition . When I've done a couple recent full installs of Slack 10.2, my beginning /user was about 2.5 GB. /var was only about 70 MB.

How do you safely move /usr to one of those extra partitions?

Create the partition, copy all the data on /usr to it. Then add a line in fstab to mount that partition as /usr, like:
Code:
/dev/hda7        /usr            reiserfs    defaults         1   2
Remember, you'll have to delete the data on /usr before mouting the new one, otherwise, the old /usr will just be invisible because the new /usr will be mounted as it.
