Would be great if you can explain me , why creating profile by the user
itself through Keryx will take more time? They can easily create profiles of
the offline machine of any distribution(of apt support) and they proceed on
rite. Any reason providing profile for download?

Throw some lights on me :) :)

Thanks,
RSK
