Title pretty much says it. I'm trying to roll my own, but my progress is slow. Been dabbling with computers since long before the internet existed and I don't think I've ever tried anything that seemed at first to be so simple and proved to be so difficult. I just want a simple cli only VM with folder sharing with host working that I can run with VirtualBox on a Ubuntu Saucy host with a plain OpenBox DE.

Or if I can't get one for VirtualBox, I'd try one for some other VM manager, although VirtualBox is only one I have any experience with.

Thanks.

I'm not sure what you mean by "Folder sharing".  You cannot mount a device in both the host and a virtual machine.. 
You will have to use a network file system such as NFS if you wish to share a"Folder" among multiple machines.

Please spend some time in the wiki. I think you need to read http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/wiki:virtualbox
