+ \section1 Creating Custom Offline Installers
+
+ To create a personal offline installer containing a selected set of components from online repositories,
+ use the \c create-offline command. This is a useful feature for scenarios where the same installation
+ content will be deployed multiple times or on several machines, as it saves time spent on downloading

+ option can be used to set a desired name for the generated offline installer.
+
+ Note that you can create offline installers only from online installers with valid repositories enabled.
+
