Can you install laminate over rough slate?
I would definitely recommend against this. While laminate can be installed on top of tile, it requires that the floor is level and even. So, if your slate is rough and uneven, it is not a good subfloor to install any hard surface. If you install the laminate directly on top of an uneven floor like this, it will most likely crack and move a lot when you are walking on it. However, an alternative (albeit an expensive one), is to add self leveling cement on top of the slate and level out the floor, and then you could install the laminate on top. This might be less expensive and less difficult vs. trying to remove the slate, but it is not a cheap option.

Can you install a ceramic floor over an existing laminate floor?
It depends on the condition, material and surface of the laminate. A linolium floor, for example, is soft composition with a textured surface. This makes a horrible foundation for ceramic tile, giving room to crack the grout between tiles. A hardwood-type laminate is smoother and harder which is a better foundation. That said, the best thing to do is rip the laminate out and start fresh.
Wood laminate floor over hardwood floor?
Yes, you can install a laminate floor system over existing hardwood floors. Just be sure that the existing hardwood is pretty smooth or the hump in the floor will transfer through. You must use a vapor barrier over your existing hardwood to reduce sound as well as moister transfere between two floor systems. Be sure to let your new floor acclimate to your room temp. for at least 48 hrs. this is especially important if you are installing floor in the winter.
