Depends on how "install to hard drive" is done.

Yes, if when copied to the hard drive it doesn't lose its ability to
boot/run with other graphics cards etc.
i.e. I can remove that hard drive and carry it to another machine and
plug it in and it still works.  I suggested
'transportable Sugar distributions'  in a separate note.  (Catching up
with this thread.)
