┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐
│         Installation Queue              │
├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
│  1. [pkg] firefox - Install Firefox     │
│  2. [pkg] vlc - Install VLC             │
│  3. [cmd] Configure ZRAM                │
├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
│  e) Execute All    c) Clear    0) Back  │
└─────────────────────────────────────────┘
