We study the generalized Korteweg-DeVries equations derivable from the Lagrangian: $ L(l,p) = \int \left( \frac{1}{2} \varphi_{x} \varphi_{t} - { {(\varphi_{x})^{l}} \over {l(l-1)}} + \alpha(\varphi_{x})^{p} (\varphi_{xx})^{2} \right) dx, $ where the usual fields $u(x,t)$ of the generalized KdV equation are defined by $u(x,t) = \varphi_{x}(x,t)$. For $p$ an arbitrary continuous parameter $0< p \leq 2 ,l=p+2$ we find compacton solutions to these equations which have the feature that their width is independent of the amplitude. This generalizes previous results which considered $p=1,2$. For the exact compactons we find a relation between the energy, mass and velocity of the solitons. We show that this relationship can also be obtained using a variational method based on the principle of least action.
