Completely update Oneiric.
Then disable third party repos, e.g. ppa and in case
# deb http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu oneiric main
# deb-src http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu oneiric main

Change release name:
sudo sed -i 's/oneiric/precise/g' /etc/apt/sources.list

and have fun:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

If all runs well:
:~$ lsb_release -a
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu precise (development branch)
Release: 12.04
Codename: precise

If you'd like to keep Oneiric install Precise on another partition.
If you'd like to keep the partition but not Oneiric install Precise same way as you've installed Oneiric.

> is this OK??

Up to you, it's yours.
