I believe increasing the partition size will require formatting the drive so that's
not really an option.  Instead, move some programs off of the partition to the /home
partition and then use the "ln" command from the shell to create a symbolic link from
the old location to the new location.  "man ln" for instructions or search the list
archives.  I know a number of people (including myself) have posted how to do this.
Moving MySQL to /home and creating a symbolic link in the old location will probably
solve your problems.
