I just installed Slackware on my Laptop, and I need to install my external hard drive into KDE, but i don't know how to, I tried typing dev/hdc and it says that there is no such directory.

What type of external drive is it? If it's USB, then, assuming that you have the relevant modules loaded, the drive will be at /dev/sda, and you will need to specify the partition number too.
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/extdir should work assuming that you have created the mount directory in advance.
In terms of modules, you will probably need usbstorage and ide-scsi loaded up. Best thing is to install the hotplug script first, and it should install the correct modules when you plug in the drive.
