4.6G for /? That's ridiculous. It doesn't need to be larger than
512M, and even that's way too large.

Well, it doesn't need to be larger than this, if /usr, /var, /opt
and /home are on seperate partitions, just like they should be. With
EVMS or LVM, that's not at all a problem. I'd like to suggest, that
you checkout LVM or EVMS and use that, when you re-setup a system.

Anyway. With EVMS you can resize even /.
