No. Remember, the file system from the live CD is a compressed file
system. It is the uncompressed, working version of the file system
that is copied. If it just copied the compressed image, then updates
would quickly become a problem. You can not write to the compressed
file system, and using a persistent overlay, like you do when
running from the USB stick, is not a good option.
