Only show first two lines of the content with a link (more..) on the home page. Only show top 2 newly added news.

If you mean columns in the same block, you might be able to do it completely with css though you can always theme the view.

What more do you need to display after the first two lines?

just like teaser.. display the first two lines, then a link "more.." for rest of the content.

I set the more link to "yes", but still cant see the link. I want to display the first 2 lines of content, and provide a link for rest of the content.

In future it helps to make your requests clear to avoid confusion.

I believe the more link is for the entire view, not specific pieces of content. ex: the more link shows after there is more content than can be shown in your view settings. In this case, the more link would show after the 3rd piece of content is pulled as your view is set to 2.

Please describe exactly how your view is set up.

It may help to export your view, put it on pastebin.com or drupalbin.com and link to that here. Maybe someone going over your view can take a look. You have some specifics there I'm not sure how they can be handled.

specifically: "I want to display the first 2 lines of content, and provide a link for rest of the content."
