FAQ: How to open files .daa in Ubuntu

Welcome to Linux Screw! If you're new here, you may want to subscribe our RSS feed.

Q: How can I open .daa in Ubuntu or other Linux distribution?

A: DAA file is PowerISO Direct-Access-Archive and should be opened with PowerISO for Linux or AcetoneISO.

In order to install PowerISO do the following:

cd /usr/src
wget http://poweriso.com/poweriso-1.3.tar.gz
tar -xvzf poweriso-1.3.tar.gz

It comes as poweriso binary so you can execute it without compilation. Now you can convert .daa into .iso:

./poweriso convert your_file.daa -o your_file.iso -ot iso

Coming to AcetoneISO program. Here you can get deb packages for Ubuntu.
