Have you ever come across a .daa file on Linux?? Well I have and it is a pain in the ass. I have been looking around how to convert the .daa files to .iso files on Linux. Here are the steps to do it:
Download poweriso
To be able to do the conversion we need a nice application called poweriso for Linux. The Linux version of poweriso is not as impressive as the Windows version, but there is no problem at all.
Download poweriso for LinuxUntar and extract poweriso
The file we have download is of the mode poweriso-“versions”.tar.gz. To extract the gz file we execute:
cd /path/to/download
gunzip poweriso*
Once we have expanded the .gz file we do the same with the tar file using:
cd /path/to/download
tar -xvvf poweriso*
Once everything has been expanded we can start using poweriso. To get help about the app you can execute:
cd /location/to/poweriso
./powersio -?
In our case we want to convert a .daa file to an .iso one, we do it by executing:
poweriso convert /path/to/file.daa -o /path/to/iso/file.iso -ot iso
The above command gets the path to the .daa file we want to convert and points to where we want the new .iso file to be located.
Hope it helps,
