copy all the files from /usr to the new partition after temporarily mounting
it as /mnt/temp.
edit fstab to mount the entire partition as /usr.
mv /usr /usrold

Now your /usr directory is 2 GB.
Verify that everything works and then rm /usrold to free up the space.
This is not a good technique to do with the /bin or /lib partitions; you
should do those, if necessary, from a rescue disk.
