installing tile floors

How do I prepare a concrete floor before installing tile myself?
I'm pulling up the old tiles fireplace splinters from my home in my basement. It is a cement floor below. Do I have to get all the old fast departed before applying the new Quick-set of the new tiles? If so, how do I remove it? I've been using a hammer and chisel to remove the old tiles, but the old Quick-set is not really with it. Thanks! Also, there are nails in the concrete itself is holding down the Strip due to the carpet. They stay until approximately 3 / 16 - 1 / 4 inches. I can not get or hammer them in Can I apply the new Quick-set against them? If not, how can I get rid of them?
it is necessary to obtain the ground as level as possible .. therefore it is necessary to remove lumps and bumps age .. a sharp chisel and a lump hammer works for me
Is it possible to install tile floors in an old house with a cement floor that is uneven?
I bought an old place that started as a small hut in the desert and the previous owners added a couple of times until the house was a large living room and bedroom big. She is old vinyl (?) Tile that needs replacing. I really want to replace it with real tile, but I need to know if it is still possible, because the word itself is very uneven. Or will I have to settle for vinyl? Any advice appriciated! Thank you.
WOW seems to have a great project ... you will want to to level it out! Do not go to Home Depot for things, my parents did and that got screwed .. ask around for the best, good luck to you ... you do not want to end up with cracks and problems in the future if you do well .. good luck
