I've been asked to help lay a large piece of scrap vinyl flooring in a
basement with a slab concrete floor. The floor is not too old, in good
shape and dry.

The problem I have is, a lot of DIY websites are happy to describe the
process for a wood floor and mention their instructions include
concrete floors, then merrily go on to tell you to staple the
underlayment onto the floor.

I don't think I can just staple into concrete!?!?!

Has anyone done this, any tip?

No underlayment necessary over a slab. Clean the floor and use the
specified adhesive for the vinyl. Visit a flooring supply store.
