Tip: once you've marked to position of the holes on the floor, lift the pan away before you give the drilling process any 'welly', because if you are a novice at drilling tiles, pound-to-a-pinch-of-sh** you'll slip and crack-off a piece of the toilet pan's ceramic.
Ceramic tiles can be cut with a masonary drill (make a small hole first then enlarge it). For porcelain tiles you'll need a porcelain tile drill. Metal cutting bits won't work at all.
