if you mean your linoleum came from a roll??? - then you should have NO problem as long as you ensure good adhesive... most peel/stick adhesive tiles are not REALLY sticky enough - you might try one in a corner before you do the whole floor!
I have textured linoleum so I would need extra adhesive to fill in the grooves on mine. (And yes, my dog is a "ham" for pictures! lol )GOOD LUCK
Yes, you can, here's an article that explains how to do it.

Hello Nancy; Yes they can. I did this at a Friends house. You will need heavy duty caulking, patience and heavy duty razor. I used a good grade of square tiles and her floor looked like it was professionally done!!!
I hope that this helps you!! Take Care!
In short yes. Make sure the floor in clean and dry. Now depending on how deep the texture is, but most linoleum isn't that deep textured so you should be fine.
thank you so much for your help
Nancy; You are most Welcome!! Thank-You!
Hi Nancy, We recently did this very thing in our bathroom. Make sure the linoleum is cleaned very well. Find the center of the floor. Mark the center with pencil. This is where your first tile should be laid. Work out from there. Hope this helps you. Good luck.
