If you are following the instructions on my web site, once you have downloaded the file from nvidia.com and run the command 'sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6111-pkg1.run --extract-only' there will be a new folder created called 'NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6111-pkg1' inside your current folder. You will find usr/src/nv inside that folder. By the way. If you want to search for stuff you will find it easier using slocate.
