What's the best way to remove foam-backed kitchen carpet. It's probably been down for 30 years and is glued to the linoleum beneath. I'd like to leave the linoleum and tile over it.:confused:

What type of tile are you planning to put "over" the sheet vinyl underneath? Peel & stick? Ceramic?

Either of those and the sheet vinyl needs to come up too to have a suitable substrate to start with.

If you must???

Depending on what type of tile you plan on installing will determine your next step. Self-adhesive vinyl tile requires a smooth surface. A plywood underlayment would provide you with a professional installation. For ceramic tile, concrete underlayment board is recommended. Any movement in subfloor will result in cracked grout and possibly cracked tiles if using ceramic.
