How set up FCP7 Start-up on External Drive at DVinfo.net

How can I set up an external hard drive for FCP7 and Snow Leopard
~ so I can update my computer to Mountain Lion (or even Dandelion)
~ and not lose capacity to edit complicated ongoing FCP7 projects.

Would just Snow Leopard and FCP7 alone on an external drive do it?
How can I best set up and copy across to external drive?

That's for an Imac.

Carbon Copy cloner will clone everything onto the external drive.
