This "$KERNEL_VERSION" variable cannot read by cookutils and just creating "-slitaz" folder and correct folder is "2.6.37-slitaz". Change to "$kvers" and add some symlink to get this driver working. Downloads my nvidia-173xx-receipt.patch.txt, rename to nvidia-173xx-receipt.patch to patch receipt file.
