Dealing with daa image files using poweriso.

Download poweriso from http://poweriso.com/download.htm. If you are using linux, the download is a tarball. I extracted the one and only file from the tarball (poweriso).

Sample commands:

List contents:
poweriso list /path-to-daa-file /

List contents recursively:
poweriso list /path-to-daa-file / -r

Extract:
poweriso extract /path-to-daa-file / -od /path-to-destination-directory

Convert:
poweriso convert /path-to-daa-file -o /path-to-destination-iso-file -ot iso

How to determine package containing a perl module.

If you get the following kind of error when using a problem that has some perl module dependencies, you can get the following type of error if you are missing one of the dependencies.

“Can’t locate XX/YYYYYY/ZZZZ.pm in @INC …”

Use the following to determine the package that contains the module:

yum whatprovides ‘perl(XX::YYYYYY::ZZZZ)’

It should work in newer Fedora/CentOS/Redhat releases.
