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.
