[Kiwinote]

** Summary changed:

- Install Later (Queue Packages) 
+ maintain queue for transactions

** Description changed:

  It would be good to have a feature to queue packages to be installed at
  a later time.
  
  Use Case
- ----------- 
+ -----------
  I want to install FooBar game. However my current WiFi connection is weak and would take a long time to download.  So I tag this package as install later and when I am home. I will go to the queue panel and click 'Install Now' button.
