Once you have partition your disk, you can't change your setup that easy.
Symlinks can help to some extend.

This was a optin during installation ("Mount initialised partition" or
such). First I'd check what setup you have.
df
will show you what partitions are mounted currently and how much space you
already used.
cat /etc/fstab
will show what partitions get mounted during boot.
fdisk -l
will show how you have partitioned your harddisk (0 MB for /tmp and 1000
MB for /home ? This can't be right).
Post the output from all three commands to the list, please.
Ciao,
Martin
