Correct, FreeDOS doesn't make hardware. HP (and a few other vendors)
install FreeDOS on their hardware as a low-cost alternative to
Windows, but we don't have any relationship with those vendors.
I'm making a guess, but I think your question is because HP
distributes a really old version of FreeDOS (I think FreeDOS 1.1) and
you would like to download FreeDOS 1.3 (the latest version)? As Liam
said, download the FreeDOS 1.3 LiveCD from our website at
http://www.freedos.org/download/ and use that to install FreeDOS on
your PC. You will need to "write" or "burn" the LiveCD image to a
CDROM or other install media to boot it on your computer.
