Moving an Aperture library ...

So my 17" MBP Uni is showing as "shipped" and should be with me next week Soooooo. How do I move my Aperture Library/database from my existing 15" MBP (running Leopard) to my new 17" MBP running SnowLeo?

I have all my masters referenced on a 500GB FW drive so hopefully that bit is straight-forward, but due to the problems some people seem to be having with SnowLeo and Aperture, I really want to have an overlap period with Aperture on both machines until I get sufficient confidence to cut loose from Leopard. I understand the licensing restrictions concerning multiple access on the same network but I only need the Leopard library until I'm sure the SnowLeo one behaves as it should.

I'm not going to do the Mac to Mac transfer thing because I know things don't always work perfectly with this, and anyway I'm going to keep the new machine quite clean for Aperture and web development, and leave most of the other stuff seperate on the older machine - hence my question.

So what's involved? Load Ap on the new machine, upgrade to 2.1.4 and then move some pref files? If so which ones guys?
Thanks in advance

Al
