is there a way to increase my / directory?

when I type df -k i get something like / ... ... ... 89% /usr 26% /var 25%

You can't make it bigger, as such, but you can of course remove some things.

1. Make some things symlinks, like /tmp -> /usr/tmp for example. 2. Delete old files. e.g., old kernels, and if you're on a 3.0 onwards system, LKMs can go from /lkm since they're no longer used if you've got an ELF kernel.

There probably isn't a huge amount of stuff you can do other than that, but you shouldn't really need to write loads of stuff to / anyway. (Except /tmp, which can be a symlink.)
