Best Answer

Single user mode is designed primarily for systems administration. As such, the system will only load minimal drivers and processes necessary for that administration. Most disk partitions will not be loaded unless they are crucial to the administration of the system. Other users are not allowed to log in to the system in this mode.

Multi-user mode is the normal mode of the system, with all resources available to users both locally and via the network.

bt.o is the kernel mode driver. When you insmod bt.o you are inserting it into the kernel, where it can cause bad things to happen if it screws up. btduser is the user mode driver. It runs as an application in user space, where usually the worse thing that can happen is a segfault. You don't have to insmod anything for user mode. You just run the application.

Difference between user mode and supervising mode?

Supervising mode is what system kernel runs in. It has unrestricted access to hardware, processor, memory and everything else. User mode is managed by supervisor mode, so programs can't crash other programs deliberately by writing over their memory. User mode programs communicate with hardware and kernel itself by system calls.
