You have to download PowerISO, a software famous for its Windows incarnation but available also for Linux from their website. Download the package into a suitable directory, expand it and run the program contained as described in third line:
wget http://poweriso.com/poweriso-1.3.tar.gz tar xfz poweriso-1.3.tar.gz ./poweriso convert "yourfile.daa" -o outputfile.iso -ot iso
Then to mount .iso file, Linux can do it for you:
mount -o loop yourfile.iso /your/folder

This snippet from .bashrc/.bash_profile was gifted from Marcel Molina, but I thought I would share because it’s life changing. Put this in your .bashrc or .bash_profile:
SSH_COMPLETE=( $(cat ~/.ssh/known_hosts | \
cut -f 1 -d ‘ ’ | \
sed -e s/,.*//g | \
uniq | \
egrep -v [0123456789]) )
complete -o default -W ”${SSH_COMPLETE[*]}” ssh
