Hey! Bob_gets_it,

DON'T DO IT! Remove the linolium first, or pay someone to do it! Talk about double work in the near future...that's what you're lookin at! And the double or triple COST! Do it right the first time...Happy scraping!

I have installed the large tiles in my kitchen. I had to first lay a concrete 1/4" underlayment to stabilize the floor. You do not want to go throught all of this work if the floor squeeks or moves when you walk on it. I have dropped large cans on my floor and I have not had one crack. This stuff makes the tiles tight and stable.
This will cause an increase in your door entry, yet is minimal and easy to adjust to.
The subfloor comes in big sheets and you screw them down over the linoleum. you do have to hit the joist below the floor, so you have to know how far they are spaced (16"?) to effectively attach the subfloor. you then need patch the screw heads. I think I used the tile mastic?
Once you have this done, you mark a straight line and start from there.

yes u can but only if the floor is cement ( wood floors can sag settle, dryrot, shift, ETC...) you need to make sure there are no bubbles in the linolium if there are you need to cut them out and fill the holes with armstrong floor leveler and also apply a thin coat of armstrong foor leveler and then apply tile i did at my house 3 years ago and no problems yet

To stability the partitions out to the middle of the room or section, start up with a 0.5 tile coarce run against the wallboard. wager ya did no longer understand I knew that huh? Tiles can variety in variety according to container, so purchase a minimum of one extra container.

Are they vinyl or ceramic?
Vinyl ones, yes. if the original flooring is well fixed.
Ceramic, not recommended. Subfloor must be properly prepped to avoid expansion/contraction. Chances are you have only one layer of plywood under that vinyl(linoleum) floor and you need at leat 1.5" of plywood as an underlay.
