Yes, it will. You can make a directory "ToriOS", place the uncompressed files 
and the original Ubuntu iso in it and run the command an everything will stay 
in that folder.

In a clean environment everything works automatically. So just don't forget

sh live-cd-script.sh clean i386

if you want to retry. Just to mention, you need to be root for everything the 
script does. You also need to install squashfs-tools, genisoimage, debootstrap 
and lzma (if I didn't forget anything). I am also running it on my normal 
production machine.
