First you need to tell us how it's presently partitioned. "fdisk -l"
(that's "ell" as in list) will tell you.
Most likely it used just two partitions, one for /boot and one for the
rest that it used LVM to subdivide. To find out how that's allocated,
run "vgdisplan" and "lvscan".
Actually, you don't want (IMHO) to make hard partitions as above. It
likely made one large logical volume for / and everything in it. You
should reduce the size of the logical volume containing / to make room
for new logical volumes for /home and /var. Swap is probably already
properly sized.
Before I go on, read http://en.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/index.html
