I downloaded several slackware themes and I also have a background picture that I want to backup, where would these be located on a standard slackware kde install.

Look in your Downloads directory and also look in /usr/share/backgrounds/
/usr/share/wallpapers/

Reason: Additional directory
If you got them via the KDE theming dialogues ('get new themes' or something), you'll find them in '.kde/share/apps/desktopthemes'. Wallpapers will be somewhere similar.
Thanks capn I will look there. I feel like the linux directory hierarchy is confusing
Your Welcome-
It can be a tad confusing until you look at the diagram in the link provided.
For convenience, the Linux file system is usually thought of in a tree structure.
My friend has told me that if I unmount the main partition and also cut the space starting from the end of the drive it will work. however on gparted live cd the option for unmounting doesn't even come up,what should I do?

If your using the Live Version of Gparted your only mounted to that particular partition long enough to modify it. As soon and you make the changes to the partition click apply changes.
Gparted will automatically mount (while you are working on the partition) and unmount (when you apply the changes) that partition for you.
