ALIX 3d2 installation

Hello.
I bought a minicomputer with 3D2 ALIX motherboard and need to install the OS, either Linux or a Windows XP mini, and a program to manage and upload data to the network from a weather station.
The problem is that this aparatejo have no keyboard or mouse, nor can you connect a monitor since it has no VGA port.
In other fora on this board tell me (I suppose that your BIOS settings) is prepared to automatically remove SO from a bootable USB stick just connect this and install on your hard drive, a Compact Flash card installed in a mini pci slot.
My question is how do I make a bootable USB stick and how I'm supposed to have within this OS, because if I have like a CD installer does not serve me because I ask key routes and where to install all those things to ask the OS, for which it should have the peripherals that I have.
Tell me specifically what the ALIX 3D2 is to extract the OS image from the USB stick bootable and copying to the Compact Flash.
How do I get a picture of a N.A. for this task?
Any other suggestions or solution that does not go through this process?

Thank you very much.

Please read the Meteohub manual. It explains what to do for an ALIX3D2 in detail.
When you get stuck there, please tell exactly at what step following the instructions you are lost.

I do not know how to make a bootable USB pen.
I do not know what format should be the OS on the USB stick bootable.
I do not know if I can install on the ALIX 3D2 Windows XP OS version small.

These instructions are not in the Meteohub program manual.

Thank you very much.

I don't know what manual you do reference, but you can find it very explicit starting with section 1.2 of the "meteohub manual" that can be downloaded here: http://wiki.meteohub.de/Documentation

When you invest time to follow instructions, I will invest time in helping you out when you got stuck. I hope that is a fair deal ;-)

Also,

The procedure outlined in the Meteohub manual will install a copy of Linux on your Alix. This is what Meteohub requires. You will not use XP on the Alix..
