Default New linoleum over old linoleum?

We have a three-season porch, not insulated, not over a foundation,
but watertight with windows all around. It currently has linoleum (or
vinyl sheet flooring, if that's what it's called today) on the floor
that has been there for 20 years. May I install new linoleum over it?
Or must I remove it?

If I put new over the old, I presume I would have to glue it down,
true?

Thanks.

you have to get the old surface meticulously clean or any little piece
of dirt will telegraph right thru the new flooring as a bump
