Run level 1 is considered an adminstrative mode, usually for installing packages and so forth. In this situation, you want a minimal set of processes running, no other users logged in, and local filesystems mounted. It usually requires the /etc/inittab file for the definitions of what processes to start at different run levels.
Run level s is for single user mode, usually considered an administrative mode as well, but for more of a basic environment; local file systems are not mounted and the /etc/inittab file does not have to exist. Usually, single user level is for repairing systems or troubleshooting the system.

These are different "runlevels", which determine what daemons and processes are running. Runlevel 1 is single-user mode, meaning very few daemons are running. Runlevel S is used for the basic scripts that need to run to enter runlevel 1.
