Setting Mount Point and Restoring Partitions question

Hello there,

I am having an issue in getting rid of a couple partitions. I originally created disk0s3 and disk0s4 for linux boot. disk0s4 was used as swap. However, I never flagged that space so it has no mount point. I cannot do anything with this chunk of partition because of it I am guessing. How would I go about setting a mount point for this partition? The bootcamp assistant cannot restore this drive to a single partition either. I am guessing its because of this unmounted partition? Basically, I just want to get rid of these linux partitions back to one whole OSX Journaled partition.

I've included a couple screenshots of what I am looking at in disk utility.

Thank you for any help you could potentially give me!

10.4 has no support for modifying the partition map, but you can get a third party partition utility/leopard and achieve this. iPartion can do this, I believe. You could also just use CCC/other to copy the whole mac partition out, reformat, then copy back in.

I am running osx leopard on this system. I am using a intel based Macbook Pro. I imagine I would be able to use this ipartition with leopard? or does leopard come with some specific utility I can use? If I cannot avoid backing up the mac partition, reformatting and restoring... then I suppose that is what I will end up doing. It would be nice to avoid that, tho.
