I think yes, but I have never used it.


You can create image with cat, netcat or ssh.


knoopix#  cat /dev/sda | nc -l -p 3000

dom0#     nc knoppix 3000 > centos.img   

or 

(if you use LVM and have a volume group called VG)

dom0#     lvcreate -L 20G -n centos /dev/VG
dom0#     nc knoppix 3000 > /dev/VG/centos
