Bug how to install new packages when / partition space is full

during installation i created four partitions mainly

/ 5GB
/home 1GB
/boot 100MB
swap 2GB

now since i didnt make the /usr partition all of the packages were being installed in the / partition ..now all the space in the / partition is filled ...i ran du -h ..i could see that / partition had been filled till 100% capacity ., is there a way where i can install new packages in my system ...even though i explored the possibility of creating another partition and renaming it as /usr and permanently mounting it under fstab.
