Swapping Internal for External disk contents (Installing A/UX)

Hello netters,
I have a question concerning installing A/UX 2.0. I just received
a call from our local Apple center to say our copy of 2.0 is on
its way. The system that we have is a Mac II with A/UX 1.0 installed
on the internal 80MB drive (it was preinstalled when we got the
machine) and the MacOS related files on an external 80MB drive.
What I am hoping to do is reverse the situation. I'd like to have
A/UX on the external, that way I can take it to any other Mac in
the area that's capable of running A/UX. What I had planned to do is
reformat the internal as a standard MacOS drive. Copy the
external to the internal by selecting all the top level folders on
the external and dragging them to the internal. Change the name of the
external to some interim name, change the name of the internal to the old
name of the external - so that the likes of HyperCard can find their stacks.
Then follow the A/UX installation procedure with the external as the target.
Does this sound like the correct way to tackle the problem or am I missing
something vital?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe Grant
