To specifically answer your question, yes.  As a LD container.  Copy the data, 
multiple ways.

But the question I think you really wanted to ask is can the media be installed 
from a user directory.  That answer I think is no.

To install, one needs to boot the installation media.  That must be from a 
device, as far as I know.

The method I and others have used is to move the installation media into a 
directory and mount it as an LD device.  Then IMAGE restore it to an actual 
disk.  Then boot that disk.
