Recommended sizes for file systems

Currently, I am running FC2 and until now have had no problem with installing new kernels. However, with the latest FC2 kernel (2.6.9-1.3), I have experienced the issue of the install running out of space on / when installing. My file system sizes are as follows:-
df -m
Filesystem 1M-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1 251 216 22 91% /
none 252 0 252 0% /dev/shm
/dev/hda9 107114 72461 34654 68% /home
/dev/hda5 251 17 222 7% /tmp
/dev/hda7 4031 3579 247 94% /usr
/dev/hda6 510 263 222 55% /var
/dev/hdb1 4925 2889 1786 62% /var/lycoris
/dev/hdb6 11379 1328 10052 12% /export/lycoris
//gandalf/gandalf_c 40005 12771 27234 32% /export/gandalfc
//gandalf/gandalf_d 37001 5242 31759 15% /export/gandalfd
//gandalf/gandalf_e 37464 12896 24568 35% /export/gandalfe
/dev/loop0 8 1 8 1% /tmp/initrd.mnt.J27039


/dev/hda is a Seagate 120Gb drive partitioned as shown above, while /dev/hdb is an old Quantum Fireball of 17Gb.

My question is what are the best partition sizes I should adopt, particalarly as I am about to upgrade to FC3 - / and /usr are both too small currently. Should I create symlinks into /home for some of the directory's in the / and /usr areas? If so, which ones can safely be symlinked? Or should I re-partition (after backing up everything I need)?
