I'm assuming that since you don't know much about Linux, you're using a standard kernel (as opposed to one you have made yourself), and AFAIK, all of the standard kernels have DOS file system support. Put your floppy disk in the disk drive and make sure you are root type: mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /floppy cd to the directory where ppp.log is (prolly /usr/log) type: cp ppp.log /floppy umount /floppy and you're done.
