Marmoleum does come in rolls just like Linoleum, and it is easily cut with a utility knife. Marmoleum is an eco-friendly non-toxic alternative to linoleum that is intended to be glued to a subfloor.

If the floor already has linoleum, are you able to remove it easily? It would be best to glue it directly to the subfloor since an adhesive will generally have a list of materials that it can successfully bond with. So, if you decide to leave it, I would check with the manufacturer of the adhesive you choose to see if it will bond properly. The other thing is, if you glue it to the linoleum rather than the wood subfloor, it's adhesion would be reliant on the linoleum below. So if that ever became unadhered, the Marmoleum would come with it.
