Can I install Ubuntu with a 1.87 GB flash drive, or is that too small?

I'm sick of Windows but only have a 1.87 GB USB stick to install from. No DVDs.

Yes you can.

You only need 800MBs of space to create a liveCD.

Can Ubuntu 12.04LTS fit on a normal CD, 700MB, or i do need a DVD?

This needs some clarification - 12.10 Won't fit on a CD, but it will fit on his usb stick. –  fabricator4 Dec 23 '12 at 21:39
@fabricator4 I don't think it will fit on anything less than 2GB will it? –  Seth Dec 23 '12 at 21:40
You can still make a LiveUSB on a 1Gb stick - it only needs 800Mb. I'm guessing that he actually does have 2GB stick - he's giving the free space as reported in some kind of file manager or disk utility. –  fabricator4 Dec 23 '12 at 21:42
@fabricator4 I think its 2GB as well. I'll update the answer. –  Seth Dec 23 '12 at 21:43
