what type of adhesive is 'ordinarily' used these days to 'stick down'

Latex modified thinset.


I already tested all over (both areas) with a toilet plunger, and the
linoleum is "stuck down GOOD'n'TIGHT" everywhere to the slab, central
areas included, wall TO wall, *NOT* just along the edges...


Good adhesion of the lino is a must. Youi should have problems with
this tile install if you use the modified t/s.



also, is there some type of 'linoleum softener' or 'pre-primer'
involved? plan is to grout -between- the tiles 'in the normal manner'
afterward...is special grout involved too? or just using some type of
'additive' to everyday normal grout, or?


No 'special' grout required. Sanded grout for spaced jopints and
unsanded for tight joints.




One more thing. If it's a 'cushion' type liono, it has to be removed.
