280GB would be more than enough space to compile a kernel in, if you want to keep your current layout. I'm not really sure why you're compiling it on / in the first place.
5GB does seem a bit small for a / partition though. Unless you're going to be using a very lightweight/minimal system, and are gonna clean out your pacman cache on a regular basis, you'll probably run into problems somewhere down the line.
I'd shrink /home down to 265GB, and grow / to 20GB. I'd still recommend against compiling things in / though. Use your /home area for that, if you need to.
Ok thank you !

]]>Not as such. You could do some hokus pokus with your partitions, depending on what layout you have them in, but we'd need a lot more information from you before we could advise you on that.
What layout have you got your partitions in? (e.g. sda1 = 5GB root, sda2 = 20GB /home, etc...?)
If your / and /home partitions are adjacent, how much space are you using in /home?
Do you have important information on /home that you really need to keep?
Do you have anywhere you can back these files up to while you're messing with your partitions?
Do you have a LiveCD (or USB) to hand which you can use to make changes to your partitions?
/home is 280GB. / is 5gb /swap 8 GB and /boot 1GB I have Gparted live. And i don't want to keep anything so i don't need backup.

The OP of that topic is following Gentoo's installation guide, so you can consider the specific advice irrelevant. However, a prevalent theme is that you and that OP are trying to compile a kernel on a device that doesn't have enough space, so the solution would be to..?
xD I forgot i don't have space! I have 5gb in / and all are used... Is there way to unite /home with / ??? (bad english)
