Moving Apeture from one computer to another

I am currently on an iMac and I am looking to move my library from the iMac to a new MacBookPro. The catch being all 30K of my pictures live on an external hard drive, which where I want them to stay during and after 'the move'. I am suspecting this is probably easier than I am guessing, but I wanted to see if folks know tricks and can confirm the simplicity of this move.


Thanks

Copy the library over to the MBP and then connect the external drive to the MBP. Aperture on the MBP should still see the referenced masters on the external drive but if not you can reconnect them using File->Locate Referenced Files


This assumes you are moving the library over to the MBP and will be using it only from there. If you are looking for a way to use Aperture from both the MBP and iMac post back.


This also assumes you have Aperture installed on the MBP.
