You want to move over the bigger directories, cause those will free up more space.
So, to move over /usr/doc (which is 61Mbytes)

1. Create a directory in home called usr
mkdir /home/usr

2. Move the contant over, and create the symbolic link, all in one command:
mv /usr/doc /home/usr; ln -s /home/usr/doc /usr/doc

3. Make sure we did it right - do a directory listing
ls -l /usr
You should see /usr/doc ---> /home/usr/doc in the list someplace

4. Check what diskspace is free
df

Hopefully, the / partition will show something less than 85%
