The best way is to use a heat gun to soften the glue under the lino and lift with a scraper or similar tool.Only work small area at a time as glue can harden again before you get a chance to lift it.You can also use a spade to chip away at it,depending you dont mind minor damage to surface;ie,surface to be re-covered.No easy way on this task.

Can you glue tiles on top of linoleum?
Yes and no. If the old linleum is peeling and seems loose then I would pull it up. If however the old linoleum is still in good shape and isn't peeling then yes, but steps must be taken. if it's on a cement floor then you need to coat the floor with a bonding agent or use a higher performing modified thinset. If the linoleum is on a wood subfloor I'd just staple metal lath right over the linoleum and tile it. I would use a bonding agent that most specialized tile stores sell. since there are so many just go to a tile store near you and ask them what they have.
What is the chemical formula for linoleum?
Linoleum was first made from linseed oil (linoxyn) with either wood or cork dust, and then is backed with canvas or burlap.

Does vinyl flooring come in sheets?
Vinyl and linoleum are not the same. Vinyl is an artificial product. Linoleum is natural. One of the biggest differences is that linoleum is much more durable. The pattern for linoleum goes all the way through so it lasts longer. The pattern for vinyl is printed on the top so once it wears off, your floor looks old. Most flooring sheets these days are vinyl sheets.
