laying tile

I was told to pull up the lino scrape the paper that is left if it won't come off it's not going to. There is a sub floor under it, I did this 5 years ago so far so good or am I just lucky. thanks

What subfloor, what are you talking about?

I am going to lay tile in the bathroom that has lino in it now, I was told to pull up the lino, scrape any of the loose backing paper off and tile over it. The sub floor under paper is 1/4 osb.

Remove any 1/4" underlayment as well, then report back with what type of subfloor is under that, how man layers of what and how thick.

Definitely remove the 1/4" underlayment, then let us know.

I removed the lino and the 1/4 inch particle board under the lino, now I have 5/8 inch tongue and groove on the bottom. I was going to put 3/8 exterior plywood on the 5/8 and start tiling, hope I got that right.

Man you sure are in a big hurry! If you don't want any real advice, why are you here? Slow down a little.
