Description
Folks are interested in using sqlcmd for presentations/conferences. Sometime wi-fi in these environments can be flaky etc which could cause default workflow to fail, or take longer (e.g. sqlcmd create mssql will check with mcr.microsoft.com if latest has changed each time. Worse, if it has changed it will pull down latest, causing a delay in the demo).
There is a "--cached" flag (on sqlcmd create). Document how to set this with an environment variable (so demo doesn't have to change with the actual --cached flag). Verify the whole experience can run completely offline without a working wifi connection.

Research direction
Start with the sqlcmd create mssql command and its --help output, then trace how the --cached flag and its environment-variable form are exposed. Verify the complete workflow without a working Wi-Fi connection; done means the offline presentation steps are documented and the help text explains how to use them.
