Grub on floppy

Hi;

I have been playing with this for three or four days and still haven't
got it right.  Any help would be appreciated.

I run Fedora on my own basement machine.  I have installed Ubantu on my
wife's WindowsXP upstairs - with her very grudging permission.  Family
diplomacy suggestes that I do not make her machine a dual boot. (Dual
booting would just serve has a constant reminder that I have been
screwing around with her machine.  Any time something goes wrong it will
be Linux's and consequently my fault.)

What grub files should I but on a floppy to give me a dual boot into her
system? I would use the floppy as sort of a key. Will I still want or
need /root?  Is there a way that I can get to the Linux on her system
while I am on my own Fedora downstairs?

Are any of you married?  Can I really get into big trouble doing this?

Regards Bill
