Re: Mint dualboot
I don't think PCLinuxOS works in virtualbox http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Guest_OSes. To dual boot, it should be pretty simple. You can probably boot off a PCLinuxOS CD and start the installation that way(this is a list of instructions http://www.pclinuxos.com/wiki/index.php/Installation). You may want to put it in another partition to avoid confusion and writing over the similar folders but I'm not sure it matters.
Re: Mint dualboot
I have PCLinuxOS installed in VBox.

PCLOS does not play nice with other distros.
